It's hard to call this the shot heard around the world, but in it's own way, III along with SLANTED AND ENCHANTED opened up a creative way by ransacking the vestiges of the 80s American underground. The original album is a schizophrenic advneture, from Lou Barlow's plaintive songwriting to Eric Gaffney's noisier psychedelically minded etudes. Long out of print, this landmark album contains the 23-track original album on disco one and a whole album's worth of additional bonus material.
