@JAV:

I should've included: expect Danny Glover-styled vocals. But seriously, I'm used to this kind of singing because I'm familiar with every Therapy? album. I think Andy Cairns has a knack for crafting infectious melodies, which may not be especially evident on this album. I'm glad you enjoy the music though.



@Willie:

I think you may enjoy it given plenty of futuristic/dub influences. It never ventures into full fledged industrial, but still if you're going to enjoy any album of theirs, it's this one.

Gonna check this out, 'cos I've never heard Therapy?, this is a 2012 release and this seems like a pretty good place to start with this band.



Also, great review and 'gratz on the feature.

It's not one of their most accessible for sure, but every Therapy? album is a good place to start imo (well, except One Cure Fits All).

Thanks. They're always so bad-ass.



Singing: "Big Black Hooded Perambulator. Birth Was The Death Of Me..."



^Why Turbulence? has my favorite lyrics on the album.

Listened to the album three times already, and it has some really good standout tracks, but also quite a few duds...

2.5 for now

The only track I don't really care for is Marlow. The album needs some time to sink in.

Thanks mate. This record seems to be quite polarizing among Therapy? fans. Have you checked this out yet?

Not yet, but I shall fix it. I've only heard Plague Bell since you recently considered it as their possible best track. Song was great indeed.

Plague Bell, Get Your Hand Off My Shoulder, Why Turbulence?, The Buzzing and Ghost Trio are amazing. The rest is great too bar Marlow which just doesn't fit in.

Thanks a bunch Jamie. This makes for a truly refreshing listen. These guys have always been more of a noise rock outfit rather than a hard rock one. So, I don't know if you'll enjoy it. Still you should give it a spin.

@greg
Haha, yea I mean it's not bad just a bit unexpected. I really only noticed it during certain spots. It's not like it's grating or anything.
