Always has been my favourite Unwound album after LTIY. Much more readily classifiable and accessible than the latter, it is an impactful, creative noise rock/post-hardcore album that packs a shorter, less grand but almost just as efficient punch as its little swansong brother. Always a jam. 4.3

It's hard to explain why I like this album so much, or even why I think it's Unwound's best work. When it comes down to it, I think it's my favorite because of its consistency. This album is simply put together better than any of their releases. The first four tracks are hard-hitting and frenetic, with 'Abstraktions' functioning as a median that slows the pace and lets the listener catch their breath. 'All Souls Day' is a return to the form of the first half, but 'Usual Dosage' is a step back. Then, the last two tracks are the greatest one-two punch I've ever heard. 'Arboretum' scrapes the ceiling, then hits the floor just as hard, and 'Fiction Friction' is a perfect kind of closer that not only reflects the record before it, but shows that it is more than the sum of its tracks.

To me this is Fake Train, but better. It's more nuanced yet more immediate at the same time. And ofc it's still noisy post-hardcore but the overall vibe is gloomy, yet kinda apathetic. I think this is due to the mix: it's subdued, the vocals being treated as if it is a shoegaze record. Nevertheless, this is very intense in its minimalism. It's like the loudest slacker music ever recorded.

This might be the best Unwound album after Leaves Turn Inside you. Good stuff
