I'm 5ing this because Pitchfork have finally ascended from kneejerk reaction artists to fullblown
douchenozzles

Put down your pitchforks, this album kicks ass. In both song structure and emotion it's more
stripped down than Death Magic, but what it loses in complexity it more than makes up for in
urgency. The album feels like a life: waking up bursting with rage, sorrow, and despair on the
opening tracks, only to turn back into ash in DECIMATION. It's impossible to escape this feeling
of cycle: fear, hate, loss, death. The opening and end tracks allude to "millions" and "billions"
of years, the third track speaks of "waking up" and the last tracks constantly speak of death.
Through cacophonous noise and subdued vocals, this exceptional record feels like a singular,
terrifying vision made manifest.

I love it when bands on a grand commercial level still play around with this industrial and noisy sound. But I have never been a fan of Health's vanilla take on said sound. It's like watching an Instagram model do shibari. Nobody believes you are actually into it, you just do it for the attention. (Note: I know Health are committed to this sound, but the analogy still feels apt, given their awkward execution of the style.)

Aye this cool. The kinda cute dream pop androgynous vocals compensate the violence of the music, which makes this a kinda weird electro-industrial rock record that's both martial and energetic, rhythmic yet melodic. Gotta dive into these guys' discog.

I don't think I enjoy it as much as "Get Color", but I gotta say, this is a really enjoyable album in my opinion. As far as noise rock goes, I don't think this will be the next "You Won't Get What You Want" but I would say this is a pretty great album and I know that I will be playing this quite a few more times yet.

Goddamn it I love this fucking band. I can't
believe I will see them soon. I have not been
so excited for a gig in years. The album
makes me feel alive and valid in my hopes and
fears. Not sure if this is as wonderful as
Death Magic but we will see in time.
