The second album by Los Angeles punk band X, released in 1981. The new songs featured on the album were written after John Doe and Exene Cervenka had married and moved into a house off Santa Monica Boulevard, and they reflect the stresses the two experienced as a young newlywed couple: attraction to other people ("Some Other Time", "White Girl"), arguments ("Beyond and Back", "When Our Love Passed Out On The Couch"), and the seeming inability to find time alone with one another ("In This House That I Call Home"). Billy Zoom's guitar work is extraordinary on this one; in fact, you can feel X as a band really coming into their power for the first time here.
