Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the third volume of the Numero Group's reissue series, this box set archives the band's blistering mid-1990s output, specifically the albums 'The Future of What' and 'Repetition'. The collection highlights a peak era of incredibly tense, angular post-hardcore marked by knotty basslines, complex drumming, and screeching guitar dissonance. It immortalizes the group as unparalleled visionaries of the 90s noise rock underground.
