The last record Steve Albini (RIP) recorded, later finished by Sanford Parker and mixed by John Congleton. It’s a little more austere and spare, but definitely FACS. It also features Johnathan Van Herik rejoining… who was in the original band. We do a song by song of that record, as well as discussion of all things 90 Day Men, including the Numero reissue and reunion.
