Album Notes & Community Reviews

Releasing their first album in seven years, the grunge legends tackle global climate collapse, political frustration, and existential dread head-on. The record features a surprisingly diverse sonic palette, ranging from furious, hard-charging alternative rock to acoustic ballads and the explicitly synth-heavy lead single 'Dance of the Clairvoyants'. It was largely viewed as their most creatively energized and vital release of the 21st century.
