This is freakin great. I love how revitalized and creative they are 25+ years in. Let’s hear the haters complain about the drum production on this one.
Knowing Travis was producing these I didn’t expect to like these songs as much as I have given I absolutely adored the sound and attention to guitar tones on Blood, Sweat and Eyeballs but actually the production has suited these songs perfectly. Love this one, pick of the bunch.
Not sure what you've already heard from their catalog, but heir most recent album Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs is honestly a great entry point. From there I'd check out Good Mourning and Crimson.
Yeah, I listened to some of their stuff here and there, mostly in the early 2000's up to Crimson, but not much else since. I think I'll do a "reverse chronological" dive into their discography soon.
This song is INCREDIBLE. The last album plus these 3 new songs are just on another level for these guys.
I came in here to say what everyone else is already saying. Feels like this band is aging like fine wine. Their recent stuff is sooooo good!
