Now re-issued, after a ten+ year absence! "Better Than a Stick in the Eye" was the third album by Canadian punk rock band SNFU. The album was released in 1988 by Cargo Records. It marked a return to a direct and unadorned sound following its comparatively experimental predecessor, "If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish". The album was released in December 1988, while the band was on their first European tour. SNFU spent the next several months touring in support of the new album, but disbanded the following September due to exhaustion and disagreements among members. In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Vincent Jefferies awarded the album four out of five stars and wrote that the album "captures the best hardcore qualities of SNFU with its diverse musical exchanges and imaginative accounts of the contrarian, ironic punk lifestyle."
