    Deep Fantasy captured the ferocity of an absurdly tight band playing together in a room, thrashing against the walls and playing off each other’s anger. That ferocity has faded. By contrast, Premonition sounds like talented professionals working remotely.

    Once again, they infuse their brand of punk with a hefty dose of pop songcraft and meticulous production, courtesy of producer Jesse Gander, Premonition conjures a dark, enticing dynamism unparalleled even by their own extraordinary output.

    The blistering sounds are as sabre-toothed as ever.

    I'll keep it simple: if you loved Paradise, this will sate your need for more. It sucks that this is it, but at least they put out one moreI'll keep it simple: if you loved Paradise, this will sate your need for more. It sucks that this is it, but at least they put out one more great album before going away. But regardless, this is worth the listen, and a worthy followup to Paradise. Full Review »
