Album Notes & Community Reviews

The ever-evolving San Francisco psych-rock institution returned with a colossal, progressively-tinged double album. Driven by their signature dual-drummer attack, the record leans heavily into 1970s hard rock and sprawling, demonic krautrock jams, showcasing some of John Dwyer's most intricate and heavy guitar work. It stands as a towering, highly ambitious entry in their famously prolific discography.
