    A pitch-perfect blend of Black Heart past and present, and a recording as accomplished as any that navigates similarly dark seas.

    Bleak and broody music has never been quite so thrilling.
  3. Under The Radar
    60
    Sounds closer to a conventional band than anything they've done yet. [#13, p.83]
