Probably their best moment on a very strong record ...."GIFT" is their finest album anyway - pure ecstatic noise pop of the highest calibre. They've really honed their craft on this one, every single track is a KILLER - tune, arrangement, production, everything!!! The way some tracks are simply stacked high with overdubs and masses of effects/guitars/vocals, without ever once becoming top-heavy, and the way others (the ferocious reprise at the end of Bleeding Heart for example) catch you unawares whilst your back is turned) is testimony to the sheer wicked genius of this record. "Doppelganger" may have charmed everyone with its insidiousness, and "Cuckoo" caused a few eyebrows to be raised through its experimental diversity, then "Come Clean" blasted away the cobwebs with its steely-eyed but controlled ferocity, but this album is their true pinnacle. Always love Curve - one of the most underrated bands around.

Maybe that's because Kevin Shields co wrote and plays guitar on it!

"Need less" is the case for more people out there than not, I'm sure.

this album is the quite possibly the crowning achievement of the band. To hear Toni harmonizing w/ herself, multitracking....subtle and gorgeous.
