    when this was originally released on castaway records i tried to order it a couple times from no idea, but they were always out. luckily asian man has re-issued it. i don't like the shady view terrace part of this split at all. they remind me of the boring, pretentious, metal-tinged emo bands my friend joe listened to all the time about 6 or 7 years ago. all of the songs are about losing friends or girls or something. ack. the lawrence arms part, however, is really good. "nebraska" is by far their best song. this is worth getting if only for that song (though the others are good, too). seems like they're leaning a little more than usual toward the emo end of things on this release, too, but it works for them.
