Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded with J. Robbins in just five days, the Illinois quartet's third album became an absolute cornerstone of the second-wave emo movement. The incredibly tight, interlocking math-rock guitars and impassioned dual-vocal interplay perfectly capture the frenetic, anxious energy of their legendary live performances.
