I fear I will have to retract my skepticism of Sand's 1, cause I'm listening and I'm rather bored. Not by the production, but just by the bland song-writing.

Let the hate flow, my man.

I mean you don't have to 1.0, a 1.5 is just as class. (:



Worse ingredients. Worse album. Papa Uni's.

On a serious note though, seems the consensus is that this is a 2.5/3. Which I guess isn't really bad.

More power to y'all, but I couldn't even get through one listen of this without pausing to get some air.

God, this really is a mess and its center really does not hold at all. With that said:

At least No Cities To Love sounds better in hindsight now. I really didn't give that one enough credit on release.

It pains me how bored I was listening to a lot of these songs. It seems like they just made really bland industrial pop and didn’t think if that would fly over well with their fans.



Ruins, Love, and The Future is Here are just flat out awful. Reach Out, the dog/the body, and broken are so forgettable and bland. The Center Won’t hold, hurry on home, can I go on, restless, and bad dance are the only songs I enjoy.

Ruins and LOVE are gross, agreed.

If anyone here likes LOVE, you should probably listen to Le Tigre, cause it's a straight-up rip-off of their style.

I liked NCTL. It's definitely not their best, but it's fun.

Sleater-Kinney ripped-off La Tigre entirely with this album. After all, La Tigre were the first with the idea to turn awful.

They were truly masters of their craft in that regard.

All I have left is Team Dresch, all the old guards are drying up.

Even L7 are boring now.

I was never that big on L7, too grunge-y for me. But I'm willing to bet that new album of theirs is 10x better than this.

Le Tigre were good when they didnt sing about Hilary.

They were bad before that happened. It's what happens when you move to shit labels (most of the time).

Sup Pop → Mom + Pop

That's a low bar. Anyone was good before 2016.

It is solid; not their best but still good.
