Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their improbable second act, the legendary Boston ensemble delivers a blistering set of dissonant, angular rock tracks. The album utilizes signature tape loop manipulation and unconventional time signatures, proving the veteran act lost none of their original intensity. It stands as a vital addition to their highly influential post-punk catalog.
