    Titus Andronicus are a fantastic punk band. They incorporate bluesy/garage/punk/indie so perfectly, especially with this record, Local Business. This is their most tight-knit record yet. Patrick Stickles sings the truth on this album, especially on the track "My Eating Disorder", which is one of the best tracks on this album.

    An impressive mix of high and low art, Local Business is at once outsider, mainstream, universal and massive. [No. 94, p.61]
  2. The only time the record comes across as flawed is the manner in which certain tracks happen to run into each other, however largely, this is easy to ignore when the rest of the record is so great. Local Business is certainly the business.

    Local Business represents a new chapter in the band's saga, but it's one you're better off skimming.
