I don't know. From what I'm seeing it appears to be one of the weaker releases they've had. Why do you like it? What would you say to persuade me to give it a listen.

Album Rating: 4.4 | Sound Off

It kinda sounds like early 80s Sonic Youth: noise and dissonance are at the service of cryptic lyrics and surreal suspense. It's very post-rocky too, with more buildups than infuriating riffing session. On top of that, it echoes the most minimalist side of the band's music - I guess that's why alt kids didn't vibe. I'd even go as far as to say it's their best post-Goo release.



hope I hyped you up m/

Ghost Bitch is cool and all, but Bad Moon Rising wise Brave Men Run (In My Family) is the superior Kim track

Brave Men Run is v cool, but feels like a warmup act for what turned into their classic sound imo. I'd give Halloween the edge over it too, sexiest performance ever laid down on an artcore indienoiz alb
vocals ruin cross the breeze
^fix'd for you

How y'all gonna shit on Total Trash, turning that oh so catchy riff gradually into an abrasive noise machine and back again is like a top tier SY moment
