The Holy Smokes- Talk To Your Kids About Gangs



This album gives us a feel for what's going on in Zach Hill's Dome, which consequently leads to There's No 666 in Outer Space followed by the much anticipated Astrological Straits where Zach Hill breaks lose. As the Holy Smokes' second album, the ideas are similar to the first, but executed a slightly differntly. It's good.

2. Too Many Wives (All You Need Is Blood)
3. Pretty Much None of Us Know Anything
4. Missed Connections
5. Don't Squab on God's Tracks
6. Young Accent
7. Upsidedown
8. Quantum Leaper of Los Angeles County
9. No Dice
10. If You Pull It Out, You Better Use It
11. Welcome To Say You're Welcome
12. Afternoon
13. I Wasn't Scared, He Couldn't Feel His Hands
14. Universe's N.A.R.C.
15. Young Man's Blues
16. The Big Picture (Reprise)
