Album Rating: 4.0

I admit defeat. I checked the opener again to make sure and it sounds a lot clearer than I remembered from the last year, so I take that argument back. May be one of those cases when a long gap between listens is enough to change my mind but it's still their least immediate album imo.

Album Rating: 3.5

I can see why someone wouldn't prefer it to their other material due to stylistic differences but I love an ass beater and it goes hard as bricks. The production is A-OK by me but I also know some people don't like pristine sounding stuff so everybody is different
