At Least I Had the Presence of Mind to Put the Joan of Arc Back

I made my way to Generation Records.

It was the middle of the day. I was on the clock.

Browsing. I was looking for things I had sold. Things I had never heard. Things that I had missed while immersing myself in other genres.

Here was something.

The album had come out a few years earlier. It was never something that I felt I needed to buy.

I had been indifferent to Jawbreaker. The indifference carried over.

The artwork was clean. Like a lot of Jade Tree releases. I decided to make the purchase.

Based on that alone.

After a few listens my indifference took over. Collecting dust. It was sold.

It became a standard reference for me when discussing underwhelming albums.

How wrong I had been.

A few more years. A repurchase. Ultimately. An appreciation.
