Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from the bombastic stadium-rock production of their prior successes, the Australian legends adopt a significantly stripped-down, raw aesthetic. Produced by Malcolm Burn, the recording highlights acoustic textures and intimate vocal performances while maintaining their staunchly political, environmentally conscious lyricism.
