    Ethereal Soul've got the super groove thing goin'. Jeremy, Mike & Grady's down & dirty guitars make Not Bad For A White Boy good for a big swirling psycho pit. This whole recording is even heavier than the Sounds Like A Cereal Bowl disc and really sounds unlike anyone else. This is just wonderful, gleaming sludge! "Bury You With A Smile" is wonderfully way-off & wild, it'll make you cringe in happiness. "Hindsight 95" is a more tripped out & heavier remake from Cereal Bowl. "There's No Salvation" is hypnotic psychedelia & super heavy noise groove. There's an hour's worth of weirdness here with an actually fitting intro. Not Bad... is a badminton game with insanity.
