Grant’s Reviews > Soundtrack: Short Stories '90-'96 > Status Update

I appreciate the diversity in styles and subject matter therein, but the quality amongst 'Short Stories' and 'The Four Seasons' is erratic. I love Abel's comic journalism, though, as it's as consistently insightful as it is innovative (particularly for the mid-'90s). Steve Albini-inspired in-joke of "Two Degrees of Separation" is great, and the juxtaposition of mundanity/profundity in "Jack London" is even better.
