They def fell off as far as I'm concerned. Only had flashes of greatness since Viet Cong, imo. I know it's unfair to expect the same thing, but the quality of VC and everything before it with Women is just a way higher level and I'm tired of being disappointed. I have negative hype.

haven’t listened to this band since their 2nd s/t album. This track rules and I think I like it even more than Viet Cong

not sharing the critique itt. loved most everything they did apart from 'New Material' and i love the fact that every one of their iterations goes into a completely new direction, from Women's noise, to Viet Cong's robust post-punk, to s/t's moody industrial tignes, i wish NM had more vision than just "let's do even more industrial this time"

excited for the new record

I've liked everything this band has done so far, even NM which many found disappointing. One of my fav bands from the past decade
