Universal acclaim- based on 9 Ratings

  • Summary: No, it's not a Jeopardy answer meriting the response "Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?" but rather the latest noise-fest from Tim Kinsella & co.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 10
  2. Negative: 0 out of 10
  1. Disparate though its individual elements may seem (and they certainly are), the sum of the parts is remarkably cohesive.
  2. Kinsella and his crew finally seem to have found a way of expressing themselves that doesn't feel introverted and exclusive.
  3. There's a ton of great music on this release, but Kinsella ultimately ruins the focus.
  4. The balance of unsettleing noise and artistic appreciation wavers perhaps a little too much and, as admirable a band as they are, wrapping your ears around their album unfortunately proves to be a little too much work.
