B-sides A little more raw and maybe a touch more soul, it comes across a little rough, lacking corporate polish. An excellent stand alone album for the true Clutch fan. I have to admit I do prefer the Pure Rock Fury version of Sink'em Low but there is, as always, lots of ear candy. .
People are dumb
You folks are 'tards. . This record along with the ones prior and the ones that came after, is amazing. From start to finish, Neil and the gang rattle the cages of reality, and take us on an aural adventure, the likes of which have never been witnessed by anyone living. Jam Room is friggin' awesome. Your mom liked it. .
Not the best Clutch
They are my favorite band. First of all I am a huge Clutch fan from 92. They can do no wrong in my eyes. But this is my least favorite of their albums. Thi seems like more of a B side album than "Slow hole to china" Which is one of my all time favorie Clutch records. The title say's it all. I think this is Clutch just jaming and having fun. There are some really good songs here3 though like the opening track "Who Wants to Rock", "Big fat pig", and my favorite "Basket of Eggs". Make no mistake this is a good album and if you're a Clutch fan you will probably like it. It's just not one of my favorites. On the other hand this is my girlfriends favorite Clutch record, but she's a girl so what does she know.
A great Clutch album
So Clutch released this originaly on River Road Records, which may have been their own label. First of all, this was released after "The Elephant Riders" after Clutch left columbia records due to low sales from the record labels lack of promoting the band. I have yet to get the re-release but I will soon. But anyone who likes later Clutch from Elephant to Blast should like this. It is different and kind of strange at first but it is Clutch at their best just jamming and having fun. I agree with the other reviewers about track 2 being the best. I have been a fan since the first time I saw the video of A shogun Named Marcus on MTVs headbangers ball back in 1993. Bottom line is, yes this is a solid album, yes it is different, but listen to it a couple of times and I'm sure you will like it.

Get real this rocks!!!!!
Rerelease including three extra tracks. This is in my opinion Clutch at their finest. I would say that some of the above reviews need to be removed for inaccuracies. It was certainly not recorded in 1992 it was released independently between Elephant Riders and Pure Rock Fury. That's around 1999 and is nothing like what they played in the early 90's.
Second track is a true classic but the whole album is loose and grooves just the way I like it. Overall great album great vibe. Now great value with bonus tracks.
