Album Notes & Community Reviews

The final studio album from the notoriously abrasive British indie rock collective heavily leans into tense, krautrock-inspired repetition and chaotic post-punk structures[cite: 1]. The record is deeply characterized by the intentionally dissonant and combative dual vocal interplay between Mick Derrick and Linda Steelyard[cite: 1].
