jbear I've heard and loved several live recordings from each of their many eras: all fall short in sheer punch compared with this night in Chicago on the Sister tour. It's like they're Nirvana or something, only somehow more pregnant with future greatness: what seemed like a quantum leap in the studio between 1987 and 1988 is audibly crackling in the air all around what can only be described as indie rock's "Before The Flood." Then with a few precious minutes they do 1976 for good measure. Favorite track: (I Got A) Catholic Block.

sluggojones This Intense remaster highlights the crowd and band energy combined; like a wild stallion kicking through a sound portal. Highly recommended. Favorite track: Beauty Lies In The Eye.

ksanzel A gorgeous recording of a fantastic performance by a great band.

mescal We love taste of human faces Favorite track: Lupine Ossuary.

apocalypsedud It's a gateway drug, flat and simple. This is my introduction to Osees, and the more I listen, the deeper down the well I go, more I need a fix. Now I find myself jonesing for more of these records.

Can't stop, won't stop... Favorite track: Web.

Lagnar The Oh Sees have come creeping out of a Tarantino horror movie. The first track Web sets such as mood and tone for the whole album. Recommend highly. Favorite track: Web.
