Album Notes & Community Reviews

The West Virginia-formed quintet refines their eccentric blend of hard rock, progressive complexity, and Beatles-esque pop melodies on their sophomore outing. The album heavily features quirky, sardonic lyricism concerning the music industry and American culture, supported by virtuosic guitar work and aggressive, shifting time signatures.
