You really thought NMH was THAT good?
I love Royal Trux, and both of NMH's solo albs have their moments for me, but I'm real curious to hear what you have to say about Plays That.
I guess I'm asking you to defend it's hon-men, but only because I'd love to be able to enjoy it more, so give me some things to listen for when I get home tonight.
