Feb 11, 2019Loved this album. Anything these guys make will always be better than half of everything else I've heard. Dance Hall is a good song, too.

Dec 11, 2020It is such a great album that I've been listening to it frequently ever since I stumbled upon it, a whole year ago.

A lot of major label-imposed ideas, like rhythm guitar and a heartbreakingly conventional new bass sound, combine to utterly ruin the record's first half. If you can make it through to News' innards, however, an EP's worth of something like better-recorded, more thought-out Lonesome Crowded West material awaits.
