horrendous cover art... not that bad of an album, though

Solid album, but it kind of sounds like they took the Albini records and sandpapered down the thrilling warming-label-“danger” edges.

Fuck you, porc, this is their third best after after the incomparable duo. Fucking amazingly unhinged record, even with the cleaner song. This shit is David Sims’ record and he don’t waste a bar

Okay I am enjoying this a whole lot more than the average would suggest. It is TOTALLY Sims' record, the bass here is just nasty good.

Might be a 4, but the last few tracks aren’t as good



Highlights are Blue Shot, Thumbscrews, Skull of a German, and Trephination prob

Some real zingers on this, oldporc is correct that this is a Sims masterclass *but* it also packs some of Denison's fuckiest leads?!!

Yeah this having a lower average than Down is ridiculous



Indie label bias is real

Yeah Down is *fine* but about the most perfunctory album these guys could ever have made (and also one of the worst-sounding Albini records I can think of). Much more vim and rough edges across this

Giving the new album a listen now. Kind of new to this group overall and like most of what they've done.

The new one is a notch of intensity below their best, but still fine. Don't expect too much from it.
