Album Notes & Community Reviews
Navigating complex, nautical-themed lyricism, the post-hardcore supergroup significantly expanded upon their tightly wound, dissonant soundscapes. The interplay between intricately measured rhythms and explosive noise-rock outbursts captured the restless, highly intellectual spirit of the era. This demanding sophomore effort further established their reputation as essential architects within the mid-90s math rock movement.
