Love as Laughter has gone through a few incarnations in the decade-plus they've been treading the boards. From garagey rockers in the early days to politically charged balladeers, Jayne and his crew have always sounded fierce and committed. Certainly on a track like the speaker-singeing "Paul Revere" there is a surplus of the stuff, as Jayne snarls and screams and the guitars rage like a cross between early Dream Syndicate and Nirvana. At other times, though, an almost eerie calm creeps into the band's sound. Love as Laughter have been many things in their career, but slick, well-kempt, and utterly predictable have never factored into the equation until now. You hate to blame the shift to a major label, but the record is so radio-ready and glossy that you have to wonder.
Condition: NEW. Drilled Jacket. Small Drill Hole.
