On Tue, 5 Dec 1995, rod thurber transcribed the following from the
Kevin Smith review in the Georgia Strait:

i don't know too much about the technical end of production, but i'd like
someone to please explain how _mock up, scale down_ can be considered
"lo-fi"...i always figured lo-fi meant something along the lines of
poorly recorded, albeit on purpose a lot of the time. this is not the
first time i've seen someone refer to this album as "lo-fi" - perhaps the
single and their cassette could be called lo-fi as the sound is pretty
bad in parts, but their cd? i don't know about that.

i don't understand why people insist on comparing east coast bands to
*only* either eric's trip or sloan. in my lame opinion as a record reviewin'
hack, i fail to see any sort of similarities between eric's trip (noisy,
distorted, etc) and the super friendz (relatively clean but jangly at
times guitar sound). put me in my place, though, if i'm wrong.
oh well, what the hecky thump does this guy know anyway, he referred to
al tuck as "pleasant background music". :)
