every other lyric is worth further exploration, and every song can be played fucking loud--- what else could you want from a record? Favorite track: Great Failure/Teeth.

Captain Creosote Without a doubt, the best, most honesty thing I've heard in forever.
Stick your overpriced headphones on and listen to actual music made by people.

VaticanShotglass Scorching, uncompromising Rock Music. Visceral and beautiful, this is a rare, honest album that snatches life by the teeth. Oh, and everything sounds perfect. Favorite track: Medicine Out.

Jeremy Withers It's a hard story to hear, how a musician facing his certain end packed it all in to record one massive album at his favorite studio. How do you separate the story from the album? In this case, I think the album could seriously stand on its own. Tight, heavy stuff - reminiscent of Shellac and the Melvins, with a ragged Replacements edge.
