Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring a dramatic stylistic shift from their fast-paced origins, 'Cast of Thousands' heavily incorporates synthesizers, piano, and complex song structures. This ambitious departure ultimately alienated their core punk fanbase, leading to the group's dissolution shortly after the album's commercial failure.
