Screeching Weasel: “Speed of Mutation” (remastered)

Frontman Ben Weasel had this to say about the reissue back in September:

“Bark Like A Dog had done really well for us in 1996 and I loved that record but I wanted to go in the opposite direction rather than do another mid/slow-tempo pop-based album. The album title was taken from a line in D.O.A.’s classic “The Prisoner” and I tried to incorporate that same attitude into the songwriting and tempos: it was meant to be a fast, aggressive, “fuck you” kind of record. Which it was, but the mix and mastering just didn’t deliver the goods. It’s bugged me ever since it was released because I knew it was a great record and it was underrated right out of the gate; hearing it done up right it’s obvious that it’s easily the band’s best post-’94 album.”
