On their third 12”, very little of their previous rock/grunge sound remains; this is mainly pop punk that has more in common with All/Descendents than with the other Sub Pop bands. Some great melodic tracks, others still have a little rock influence. Great music. [8]

Neuer Geniestreich der Pop-Götter. Wie in Sub-Pop-Kreisen üblich, reichern auch Fluid ihre Musik mit etwas Rock/70s-Einfluß an, der hier allerdings fast völlig untergeht; im Prinzip ist dies eine Punk-Rock-Scheibe reinsten Wassers (die glasklaren Popsongs erinnern zeitweise ein wenig an Descendents/ALL). Power, gute Produktion, Ohrwürmer - toll.

Tracks: our love will still be there / black glove / closet case // candy / pretty mouse / wasted time
