This is a really, really good routine. I've been training for 15 years and have tried most of the stuff that's out there - but my strength gains on this one astounded me! did it for 3 months I added around 20% to my major lifts
One word of advice though - don't try to hit your maxs on the first week! Start conservatively and aim to be near your maxs by the 3rd or 4th week. That way you get some 'momentum' and get accustomed to this style of training.
Have you been to Madcow's geocities site? He has some very useful additional information on there.

As commented above, you do adapt and get used to it. I never had any problems with bench after squat, but the first 2 weeks of deadlifts after squats was the most painful experience I've ever had in the gym
And if you dread squats you will soon get to like them when you do them 3 times a week!
