  Punk energy and country fatalism fit together more naturally here than anyone expected at the time. Songs like “Whiskey Bottle” and the title track sound worn down rather than rebellious, with distortion used less for excitement than emotional pressure. Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy already pull toward different sensibilities, which gives the album tension and range. It helped invent an entire movement of insurgent country music almost accidentally.
