Personally, I find their third album, Restrictions, to be the best one. The
playing is amazing, and while there is some meandering, the songs Evil, Sweet
Sixteen, and Bag Drag are just incredibly smoking. And it's better engineered
than the first record, so it has a fuller, more powerful sound, to my ears.
Second record One Way or Another is the worst of the three, although I like
Hometown Bust (with the memorable line, "Why do they have to put my
friends,,,,,,,,,in jail?")
And it was vocalist Rusty Day that was killed in what was believed to be a
drug-related murder, along with his son, it was not one of the guitarists. He
apparently was a drug dealer of some type.
