The Canadian band takes a bold step in a new direction, trading their raw sound for a more melodic and occasionally eccentric alternative rock vibe in "Up on Gravity Hill." While the album's second half may not leave as lasting an impression as the first, it showcases exciting new directions for a band that seemed to have plateaued in their raw and blistering noise rock and post-hardcore origins. This shift may not appeal to everyone, especially those averse to bands embracing a more "mainstream" sound. However, there's no denying the presence of memorable ideas throughout the album. It's an intriguing exploration that hints at promising developments for the band's future endeavors.

| 4.0 excellent | Gene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | April 18th 24 |
Steve Albini's pets at it again with more dissonant noisy grunge, showing more skill on the mix (thx Steve), more song-writing depth, more emotional substance in text, and as tight a runtime play as ever.

Mature post-grunge noise rock record. As crunchy as elegant it is. The closer track is an indie thriller movie soundtrack.
