3.0 goodSalteyBacon | September 22nd 23

When you read about an album's production really changing the sound, I feel like this band is a great example of how making the first release sound completely not like what they intended on sounding like.

3.7 greatErwann S. STAFF | May 12th 20

This is the moment MoB wanted their studio records to sound like their live shows: noise became a more central part of the arrangements, as their concerts were a loud mess, and they decided to record the instruments simultaneously instead of overdubbing separately. On top of that, Martin Swope's loops are more prominent than before, making for a very dense sound. The moody tracks ("Trem Two", "Dead Pool") are working the best here, the faster cuts being more noisy punk mess that I like but don't love. The closer slaps hard tho.

3.5 greatAtThePinery | January 21st 15

Not a favorite of mine as far as post-punk "classics" go. But this is still an awesome album with tons of great songs, and great performances.
