Neil Michael Hagerty
2001
A lot of poseurs like to cite how great Neil's legendary scumduo Royal Trux was, especially early unintelligible shitstorm "Twin Infinitives" era albums. That junk was diff-i-cult, but a rewarding listen and pretty much the tools that RTX would use from then on out. I'd contend that Neil's first solo joint, after severing ties with his ladyfriend Jen H., is as difficult an album to get a hold of, yet solve the riddles of his future sphinx. This is guitar rock, classic rock, axe-shredding, repetitive, and essential. Neil looks like Todd Rundgren on the cover. The cover-art sports a Cpt. America/guitar collage that pretty much nails how I'd envision a Hagerty superhero. Great live performer, too. He's rocks my rocks off on both coasts.

You say 'Who the hell is that?'"
