This is a recording of The Jesus Lizard's last show in Umeå, Sweden, which was released in 1998. The album's opening soundbite captures a speculative David Yow saying that this could be it. With that information the album has somewhat of a disparaging feel, even though it's still the band at full force. Yow's vocals, which are notoriously muffled, seem quite clear. He does seem, however, as whimsical as he can be. They wound up reformed and toured in 2008-2009. So I guess this is just a live album. The band plays a good balance of classic and newer, post Touch-And-Go, songs. If anything, this serves a good look into a band's temporary demise.
