A fine follow up to the dirty 'Superfuzz...', this has Sabbath mixed with The Stooges, providing the speakers with some superb groove distortion that only Sub-Pop could have produced. Forget grunge, there was no such thing during the late '80s, the sound WAS 'sub pop', a brand of punky, oily, greasy, fuzz that brought with it a variety of bands from the gargantuan Tad, to the lesser known acts such as Blood Circus and Catt Butt, all influential as a scene. Mudhoney were the kings of the sound, 'This Gift', 'Flat Out Fucked' and 'Here Comes Sickness' are sweaty, chaotic heaps of noise, three-minute pop fuzz that'll make you want to leap around and just be caught up in the scene of grime. Great while it lasted.
7/10
