This was one of my favorite albums when it came out, I think I nearly wore out the tape. Savory is indeed an amazing song, and the rest of the album is very creative and distances the band from the rest of the dischord groups. very catchy but in their own way... I think this was a very influential album.

Though it is by no means a perfect album, Jawbox's For Your Own Special Sweetheart has that raw and lively sound to it which just works swimmingly. Ted Niceley's production style makes most of the tracks into an animated uppercut of tenacity locked up within the post-hardcore genre and the musicianship is almost at a stellar level. There's a pretty good chance that if you're in a modern-day emo or indie rock outfit, then these heavyweights are probably going to be an inspiration one way or another.

A gem of the '90s I wasn't aware until recently. Favored tracks: "Savory", "Breathe", "Motorist", "LS/MFT", "U-Trau"
