I've been dying to hear the live renditions of this album since seeing the tour and these recordings do not disappoint, fantastic live album.
This is one of the best live albums I've ever heard. I apologize for posting that tweet. I thought it was amusing. Sorry to offend y'all
What a tremendous year for live albums so far and it's only April. This, Converge, and Sleater-Kinney are all incredible.
