The Muffs (1993) may not be the band’s best album, but there are many days it’s my favorite. All the songwriting elements that Kim Shattuck would hone, perfect, and whip into shape by Happy Birthday To Me (1997) were present from the debut– and to a lesser extent, the singles leading up to this CD.
