The sci-fi aspect of GAF is everywhere. So much that it´s almost a theme album. I wonder who else has made anything remotely like it. There isn´t that many contenders who can believably do this kind of stuff. All details are honed to perfection, even the uber-stylish cover, which is a like a reminder of an era that never actually existed in rock music. Too bad that the yardstick GAF was measured against was Nirvana´s Nevermind. The stylish intrigue of GAF never had the chance.

Even though the band is clearly not satisfied with it, I still think it´s one of their best efforts. They say that they were not firing on all cylinders while doing this but that may be the thing which makes GAF special. Other good things might come out when you are not trying and it´s not needed to fill all parts with bigger and louder bombast. Besides, GAF shows that SK has a certain level that he is simply unable to get rid of, hard as he may try. We all know that Marty and especially PK have a level that is high all the time.
