Throwing Muses - University
===========================

IMO, second only to Real Ramona.  While some of the songs may not be
as clever or "experimental" or even as catchy as in the past, this
album's strength is its consistency of mood and groove.

This should surely be in the FAQ by now?  The limited "University" is a
digipak in a dark red slipcase (similar to the sort of thing
dictionaries sometimes come in), with a set of "postcards" (linked
perforated cards with pictures on one side and the lyrics on the
other).  The digipak is silver all over on the outside.  I believe
there's some additional artwork, though since the artwork isn't all
that good (in my subjective opinion), it doesn't matter very much.
