Stereo Review wrote that "the sex-rocking 'Shag, the punk-snarling 'Get the Writing Off My Back', and the boom-boom-booming 'Brillo Hunt' are as catchy as anything on Last Splash but more fully arranged." [17] Rolling Stone called Boom! Boom! Boom! "a fun and arty fuck-about of a solo album," writing that "there's a lot of sonic debris here, too: bratty Mouseketeer-like cheers, hokey ditties such as 'Stripper' and arbitrary instrumentation like military snare drums and penny whistles." [18] The Columbus Dispatch concluded: "While several cuts spill over with resonating guitar pop, many ride the fence between full-on heavy metal and numbing alt-rock. While the latter is inoffensive, its impact is ephemeral at best." [19]
The Guardian deemed the album "splenetic punky numbers one minute, lovelorn crooning the next," writing that it "veers between the actually-quite-good and arrant nonsense." [14] The Albuquerque Journal determined that "though most of the 15 songs (like the loosely structured 'Stripper', a sort of poke at the dancing profession, and the drumroll march of 'Total War') are experimental to be sure, there are still a couple of radio-ready pop gems, like the album opener, 'Shag', and 'Confidence Girl'." [20] The Boston Herald remarked that "the odd 'When He Calls Me Kitten' transfixes with a bizarre Ann-Margret-visits-the-Mississippi-Delta-blues vibe." [11] The Plain Dealer thought that "while [Sugar Altar's] lyrics seemed to evade serious issues, [Deal]'s now developing an oblique, personal language to explore them." [16]
All tracks composed by Kelley Deal; except where indicated
The Beatles, also referred to colloquially as the White Album, is the ninth studio album and only double album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 22 November 1968. Featuring a plain white sleeve, the cover contains no graphics or text other than the band's name embossed. This was intended as a direct contrast to the vivid cover artwork of the band's previous LP, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). The Beatles is recognised for its fragmentary style and diverse range of genres, including folk, country rock, British blues, ska, music hall, proto-metal and the avant-garde. It has since been viewed by some critics as a postmodern work, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time.
The Breeders are an American alternative rock band based in Dayton, Ohio, consisting of members Kim Deal, her twin sister Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson (drums).
My Generation is the debut studio album by English rock band the Who, released on 3 December 1965 by Brunswick Records in the United Kingdom, and Festival Records in Australia. In the United States, it was released on 25 April 1966 by Decca Records as The Who Sings My Generation, with a different cover and a slightly altered track listing. Besides the members of the Who, being Roger Daltrey (vocals), Pete Townshend (guitar), John Entwistle (bass) and Keith Moon (drums), the album features contributions by session musician Nicky Hopkins (piano).
The Beach Boys Today! is the eighth studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released March 8, 1965, by Capitol Records. It signaled a departure from their previous records with its orchestral sound, intimate subject matter, and abandonment of car or surf songs. Side one features an uptempo sound, while side two consists mostly of introspective ballads. Supported by this thematic approach, the record established the group as album artists rather than just a singles band. It has since become regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time.
"I'm Only Sleeping" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1966 studio album Revolver. In the United States and Canada, it was one of the three tracks that Capitol Records cut from the album and instead included on Yesterday and Today, released two months before Revolver. Credited as a Lennon–McCartney song, it was written primarily by John Lennon. The track includes a backwards lead guitar part played by George Harrison, the first time such a technique was used on a pop recording.
Spirit is the debut studio album by American rock band Spirit, released on January 22, 1968 by Ode Records.

The Supersuckers are an American rock band, formed in 1988, whose music ranges from alternative rock to country rock to cowpunk. AllMusic describes the band as "the bastard sons of Foghat, AC/DC, and ZZ Top after being weaned on punk rock, unafraid of massive guitar riffs, outsized personalities, or pledging allegiance to sex, weed, and Satan with a wink and a nudge."
