    The Physical World proves that not only is 2004 just far back enough to merit nostalgia, but that this return opens our first portal back.

    Taken on their individual merits there's nothing particularly 'wrong' with the 11 songs that form DFA 1979's long-awaited second album, but altogether there's few standout moments and the tight, self-imposed confines of DFA 1979's sound shackles them to the floor.
