While some of these tracks would variously appear on posthumous compilations of NOOTHGRUSH’s scattered work, never before have they been collected together in their entirety. As such, not only is the 73-minute Man is His Own Tormentor vital for archival completism, more so does it serve as the most complete, eternally compelling snapshot of the band at their creative peak. As a bonus, the compilation concludes with a live song (“Friends of Mine”) from a February 9th, 1996 show, for the first time on CD - https://www.nocleansinging.com/2026/10/01/an-ncs-premiere-noothgrush-useless/
