Heavy duty 2003 album from these long running Connecticut noise goons, effortlessly stitching riff-heavy noise rock, bluesy sludgecore, snarling stoner rock, and flashes of plaintive post-rock together across these eight tracks, every one a smasher, with some of their best riffs ever, possessed by impassioned,razor-gargling vocals. Theres a surprising amount of melody here too, with beautiful epic guitar harmonies and occasional clean vocals, and cool vocal loops and electronic noises and sweet feedback wrangling, but largely this boils down to a menacing mutant classic rock-addled sludge masterpiece that'll crash your cloud, an unexpected fusion of Unsane, Isis, and Eyehategod, swampy but epic, melodic but scuzzed and ugly, psychedelic and noisy and brutally heavy with more fang-baring attitide than you can handle. We miss these cats. Produced by Steve Austin from Today Is The Day.
