One of the most intense moments on {$Chan Marshall}'s 1996 breakthrough LP, {^What Would the Community Think?}, {&"Nude as the News"} rides a starkly incoherent, strangely political bend, with {$Marshall} singing matter-of-factly, "Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me/and he's related to you." The B-side, {&"Schizophrenia's Weighted Me Down,"} is an {\acoustic} collage of mental illness, combining elements of {$Sonic Youth}'s {\noise rock} schism {&"Schizophrenia"} and the {\psychedelia} of {$Alexander "Skip" Spence}'s {&"Weighted Down (the Prison Song)."} ~ Bryan Carroll, All Music Guide
