Just doesn't compare well to their other releases for me, this felt like it lost something in terms of pure evil in trying to be a little more subtle. I liked all the extra noise, and I wanted to like this, but it was just dissapointing in my opinion.

Yeah I like it, it definitely shows their trying to continually expand and shake up their sound (and discovering the left side of the fret-board), even if it's a bit messy and has a few of their weaker tracks overall. Still quite enjoyable.

I never got around to listening to this because I couldn't find it online anywhere (although I admit I didn't try very hard). Heard good things though, obviously. Is it worth listening to if I liked You're Nothing but not enough to ever need to hear it again?

I'll send you a link if you really want it.
It's Iceage's best album in my opinion. I much prefer this sound to their previous two albums. It just seems fully and more confident.

It's more varied, more grown-up, more polished. Overall it shows more accomplished songwriting, but doesn't have anything like the same visceral thrill. So... yeah, I guess.

Just checked YouTube and it was uploaded there since I last checked (like I said, I hadn't tried very hard) so I gave it a listen. At first I wasn't sure what to think, I liked the shift in style but felt it really hard to connect to. But by the end I was really into it, like everyone said it feels more mature and there's definitely more to come back to than in their previous album. And I think the fire's still there - even if it's not as immediate there's still a lot of energy here.

It's a surprisingly good post-punk album. Nothing life changing, though very underrated for what it is.

I can't, in good faith, compare this to their previous albums. It's a whole other beast. What I can say is that it's quite excellent. Maybe not as great as You're Nothing, but a damn good album.
