    Let the Poison Out finds him sounding clearer than ever, while the music is a pleasing variation on the formula they've been working toward perfecting since the beginning.

    Let the Poison Out only ups the ante. Distortion is easy and lo-fi bands are a dime a dozen, but hardly any of them clean up this well.

    Perhaps the best thing about this catchy, super-short record (it'll take less than thirty minutes of your time) is the balance it strikes between tight songwriting and a loose, improvisational feeling.

    On balance, then, exactly 68.5% of this record is worth listening to.
