Mar 11, 2015Mind bogglingly good. I love this album, and I can honestly say it's one of Shellac's greatest (although they have a pretty strong discography all the way through). One of my favorites of 2014.

Nov 26, 2014This album has the in-your-face character that Shellac's best album, At Action Park, had. The grooves are better, the bass riffs are more prevalent, and the lyrics, while not beautiful or even conventionally intense, have a personality for once on a Shellac record. Favorite track: All the Surveyors.

The WireDec 15, 2014There is a mellowness to the album, underscored by Albini's older, deeper voice, that suggests their edge has been lost. [Nov 2014, p.68]

MagnetDec 10, 2014Twenty years later, the Shellac so many swore by is back, and swinging. [No. 116, p.61]

MojoNov 19, 2014This is hard rock as anthropology, administered like only this band can. [Dec 2014, p.88]
