The Question is How Fast
About This Album
Another corker from the best singles band of the 1990s, "The Question Is How Fast" captures Superchunk at their most anthemic. In some respects their most traditional rock & roll song to date, it swaps the band's trademark sugar-rush frenzy for a slower, more muscular guitar riff and stadium-strength drumming, proving the increasing scope and flexibility of their basic approach. Among the two B-sides, the original "Forged It" is pure, uncut adrenaline -- much more interesting is their cover of the Magnetic Fields' cult classic "100,000 Fireflies," which retains the mordant beauty of the original while boasting the energy of Superchunk's best work. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
