Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star

Whereas Dirty and its predecessors were loud, distorted, and bordering on the fine line between pop and noise, Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star from 1994 did away with the ear-bleeding guitar feedback so often attributed to the group. The group retained its quirky twist on pop/rock song structures, moving even closer to a consistent use of the verse-chorus-verse template. Butch Vig's clean production makes the album seem clean, when in actuality it is nearly as dirty as the group's preceding effort. songs such as 'starfield road' and the acoustic song 'winner's blues' emanate plenty of raw spontaneity, even with Vig's crystal clear production.
