Hmm... back half seems a lot better than the front half. But the stream quality isn't the greatest, so no real definitive thoughts atm.
I really like it. Don't think it's something I'd want to hear regularly enough to warrant a purchase, but the album has my support and I'll probably stream it at least once more next week. Albums ends with a whimper rather than a bang, but in general I think that speaks to how less aggressive this album is than I was expecting. I definitely have no problems with that.
I really like this. I've listened to it three times. I was a bit underwhelmed with my first listen for whatever reason, but then I found myself really wanting to listen to it again. Each listen has made me want to listen to it again even more.
Album gets much better with each listen. Dead Rats is one of the best songs I have heard by them. It sucks that the stream quality is garbage.
