    How many great songs about rock and roll can one man write before he gets tiresome? We may find out.

    While it's misleading to call an album "mature" when it plunders rock history for riffs and features an ode to comic books, Argos has done some growing up.
  3. No Ripcord

    Art Brut vs. Satan is somewhere in the middle; good enough to be worth a couple of listens but enough bad at times to frustrate and make you wonder what might have been.

    ... where Frank Black's production meets Art Brut's edgy, spiky punk. Not a perfect album by any stretch of the imagination, but the highlights outweigh the lowpoints in both potency and frequency. A raw, exciting (if somewhat flawed) album which will please fans of both Art Brut and Frank Black.… Expand
