Ie, they were a lot more fun when they were into punky power-trio dustups than pretending to be Heart.

Here, the only remotely interesting sound (to me) is the descending guitar line on the bridges. On the first album, that would have been allowed to carry the song.

So, what I'm trying to say, is here's Steve Albini's number. He's really not the asshole you may think, and his studio has the BEST coffee.

this album killed any interest left in them eh

Me too, they jettisoned everything interesting.

yup same here

This band seems determined to turn into Linkin Park or some shit.

Did they release something new and uninteresting?

Any any band needed to strip back to its roots and visit Steve Albini's studio...

Mike Shinoda could "rap" all over this.

Yeah already got this on preorder. In retrospect I should have gone to see them in late December 2019 but you can't have it all.

Yeah i like 'interval' too, guess i need to check the album. Is there a piano lurking in the mix there? It's giving me tori amos vibes for some reason

Looking forward to the late November show...

This is great! I hate to lean on the overused cliche, but it really is a return to form. This scratches the right itch for me.
