    Forty-two minutes of profound pleasure all in all, which both challenges the clichés of guitar-based heaviness and mines them for their ore.
  2. The Line of Best Fit

    For the second time this year, Hey Colossus have succeeded in outsmarting just about everyone.

    This is Hey Colossus' best LP yet--by some distance.

    Nine albums and 12 years into their journey, Hey Colossus have never sounded better.

    Radio Static High makes a perfect counterpart to In Black and Gold.
