Album Notes & Community Reviews

A hybrid release splitting its time between unpolished live recordings and a handful of new studio tracks. Capturing the band transitioning out of their commercially successful Brix Smith era, the live cuts maintain Mark E. Smith's signature sneering delivery over repetitive, rhythm-heavy instrumentation.
