Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting Steve Albini's notoriously abrasive trio during their final European tour, this posthumous live album captures the band's unrelenting, mechanized assault. Driven by a punishing drum machine and razor-sharp, metallic guitar noise, it serves as a chaotic, misanthropic monument to 1980s underground aggression.
