This record by Hot Rod Circuit might be their best record, the record that defines what I love about them. Crunching, thick chords and blasting vocals to match sound like no one I have ever heard exactly, but yet fit right in with the Vagrant roster as one of their best bands. "Sorry About Tomorrow" has driving melodies and guitars that ring loud and sound muddy, but in that delicious, thick, good way.

If you haven't heard Hot Rod Circuit, you're missing out on the hot track to hot jams. Buy this album, which is debatably a collection of the finest work this band has put out to date. And while it hasn't and didn't get that much attention when it came out, it's one of the redefining discs of this scene and undoubtedly a great effort.
