Not really.
I love it, it was their first album I listened to and the others were too harsh comparing to that one
Btw, this gem popped up in my Spotify recommendations today. Lush, (mostly) instrumental, dreamy shoegaze:
Oh man. This was the first new release I reviewed as a member of the music staff at my college radio station, and I pushed it so relentlessly that it beat out And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out for the top of our chart for a week or two. Our program director wasn't amused.
I listened to this in passing last year and filed it away and I dunno why. The mixture of light Floyd touches combined with dreamy post-punk guitar is pretty much exactly Mt Hing.
I know they existed but never listened to them, thanks for the tip

This was my gateway album when I first heard it back in 1987. My first exposure to anything underground. Still love it.
CIARA IS DEFIANTLY A MAN AND ITS DISGUSTING MY CUZIN WAS THROWING UP FOR 2 WEEKSM YUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK PLEASE SIGN THIS B/C THATS JSUT HERENDOUZ
I didn't realise Giant Sand's early stuff was kinda cowpunk/paisley underground, basically a less hooky more energetic Green On Red or Dream Syndicate, a bit of unhinged gun club blues clang.. Black Francis probably took a few pointers, uh it's good whatever it is.. simple honest nervy tunes that are better listened to than discussed on internets
Valley Of Rain and Ballad Of A Thin Man are the albums that grabbed me (on a single reissue CD)
and I've been hammering the early Elton John a bit, when he sounded more akin to Faces or Mott The Hoople's bluesy rock or a Nilssonesque singer-songwriter than the more puffed up hitmaking machine he became
I mean he looks like a sullen boarder on Honky Chateau (plus it has fuckin rocket man which we all know is GOAT canon)
My listening experience in balanced mode reveals the great depth of EARTH
