Finally got around to 1982's Hex Enduction Hour (which is suitably just over sixty minutes in length) in my Fall listening marathon. The casual use of the n-word in the first track kind of blindsided me but the album is catchy enough and I can see why it tops most fans' best-of lists unlike This Nation's Saving Grace (on which I only liked three tracks and the associated singles).
I would've preferred to have had some warning first though. Every music critic I read on the album except The Quietus's John Doran completely glossed over the issue as if it didn't exist. I'm more disappointed than offended though because it makes it hard to recommend this otherwise fairly solid long player to others.
