Opening with the war noises was hilarious

Album Rating: 3.5

I thought this was a lot of fun. Feels like vintage "fuck the system" punk or something, but I admittedly paid almost no attention to the lyrics my first two spins. Regardless, liked this a lot on how it sounded alone.

cool cool cool



Joy is the melodic one

Brutalism is the brutal one (thx Captain Obvious)



hope you'll enjoy them too

Album Rating: 3.5

will prob check joy next, always enjoyed the cover for some reason

I do want to let this new one run its course first though

Joy is their most joyful for sure (regardless the really eerie and sad parts).

Album Rating: 4.0

This is great punk and there's nothing wrong with that! Really enjoying this one, Joy still my favourite.

Album Rating: 4.0

Reigns might be one of their best songs yet. But overall I love brutalism and Joy is my second favourite album all-time so it was bound to end up here. not disappointed though.

Album Rating: 3.5

Flip flopping between 3.5-4.

The album cover is an accurate depiction of the music at hand: a punch in the face. Defo a step down from Joy but that’s probably gonna go down as one of the best punk records of the decade.

Brutalism is miles better than joy

Album Rating: 3.2 | Sound Off

that's an opinion that can be considered valid

i personally prefer Joy but to each their own

Album Rating: 2.0

A punch in the face this most certainly is not, more like a gentle caressing tickle with an unwanted reach around to finish.

I really don't hear a Sex Pistols comparison in this aside from them both being English. Pistols come off as even more melodic to me, and the songs/riffs are a lot more straightforward to my ear.

Album Rating: 3.5

Ive got mixed feelings about this. The first four tracks or so ruled, but they were also exactly what I expected. So was everything else. But I started to care less as they came on. Idk. Need to try again. Opener is mint.

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah, it lacks the aggression of Brutalism or the pure melodic intrigue of Joy. Still a great record, but not to the level of previous LPs as many here have said. Still love this band a ton, though.

wa CHING

THAT'S THE SOUND OF THA SWORD GOING IN
