'Shook' is in short what 'There Is No Year' was trying to be: a punching, industrial-laced, incendiary genre fusion with still the subtle touch of restraint.

I do think I agree with Quetzal in the soundoff. A lot of songs I extremely like but also so many blunders here that just make the album more messy and more discohesive than it should be. Some of the features also make the general experience a lot worse. They add nothing remotely positive to my ears and dont play in the artist strenghts. rThe album hit when it hits, but also misses a lot

?Shook? really feels like a return to greatness that the band had bottled on their 2017 breakout record ?The Underside of Power? but even pushes the post-punk and post-industrial concepts into more hip-hop styles than the more gospel and soul ideas they had been doing. Not to say those influences are gone, because the lead singer of the band still brings that very spiritual delivery when he contributes, but it?s the features that add the true depth to the record that felt missing on past releases. From underground hip hop legends like Billy Woods and Backxwash, to avant-folk phenom Nadah el Shazly. Everything is still housed within the general idea that the band has built but everything feels more expanded upon and realized than ever before. Not sure how the band can continue this style, but I would imagine they will continue to come up with some funky fusions.
