Although their name might seem like a stretch when requesting at your local record store, this album is worth a purchase.
-
Reintegration Time‘s alright, but it’s no substitute for seeing these guys perform.
-
On cuts like "How Do I Maintain Pt. 1," the rhythmic interplay gets weighed down by its own excess, but the more expansive clouds of synth exhaust in wordless bookends "Run" and "Reintegration Time" offer more rewarding highs.
-
Reintegration Time is a neat, reserved album, if not satisfying as a close approximation of the band's live sound, then as a more low-key exploration on a parallel path.
-
It all adds up to a good but frustrating album of really solid highs and really annoying lows.
