instantly my favorite album of the year. groovy, inventively-arranged (the piano on the title track!) post-hardcore music a la fugazi, hoover, jesus lizard, sometimes they even remind me of a way harder pretty girls make graves and i love it. the sound is spliced a bit with indie rock and shoegaze but not so much that it softens the brutality of its impact. can't believe they broke up and then reunited to record this, but i can understand why the music called to be finished, it doesn't sound a thing like refused but it gives me the same feeling as the first time i listened to the shape of punk to come... they're doing something special here that i think other bands are going to pick up on
