This brilliant and critically acclaimed 1997 debut put the band in the center of the local pop scene, brought them a modicum of national attention and, most importantly, remains one of the finest debut albums of the period. Filled with a combination of joyous, ebullient pop buoyancy, excellent musicianship and Stew's surrealistic vision, it has become the "Freak Out" of the 1990's. "Record of the Year"--San Diego Union Tribune. The Negro Problem are: Stew, Jill Meschke Blair, Charles Pagano, Gwynne Kahn.
