    I registered just to rate this album, since that user score is a joke. This album absolutely demolishes. Imagine a Jesus Lizard album cranked to the absolutely extreme. 10/10 Album of the Year

    Metz locates a bittersweet spot between post-punk calculation and garage-rock urgency.

    Only when they tip the 'dumb' into an absurdism, in bouts of monotony or mindlessly devolved weirdness, do Metz sound anything like punk, or indeed art. Herein lies the retardation.

    Brilliant: like all the best bands in the world playing through one broken amp at maximum volume. [3 Nov 2012, p.53]
