Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third album from the legendary New Zealand rock outfit saw them leaning further into unadulterated, fuzz-drenched hard rock[cite: 1]. 'Pins in It' attempts to capture the visceral, high-volume energy of their live performances, occasionally veering into dark, psychedelic jamming territory[cite: 1]. It remains a definitive statement from one of the most important heavy bands of the antipodes[cite: 1].
