Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the thirty-first and ultimately final studio album before frontman Mark E. Smith's passing, the record maintains the band's trademark abrasive, chaotic post-punk energy. Smith's famously cryptic, garbled snarl cuts through driving, repetitive garage rock, ensuring their uncompromising legacy remained intact to the very end.
