Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating with arguably their strongest late-era lineup鈥攊ncluding the heavily influential riffing of guitarist Ben Pritchard鈥擬ark E. Smith guides the legendary post-punk institution through an uncharacteristically muscular set of songs. The production highlights driving, krautrock-inspired repetition that sharply underpins Smith's trademark cryptic, sardonic lyricism.
