Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded hastily with a largely new and unpolished backing band, Mark E. Smith's legendary post-punk group delivered one of their most abrasive, chaotic efforts. 'Are You Are Missing Winner' features a muddy, blown-out production style that heavily leans into rockabilly and scrappy garage rock, maintaining Smith's signature cryptic, snarling poetry.
