The band's eighth full-length album. Deliberately and aggressively raw, it sounds as lean and as full-on as any modern equivalent one cares to mention. Recorded in a scant three and a half days, written and recorded "from the rhythm up" instead of from the riff and lyrics down. The effect is to thrust out the bottom-end rumble of drummer Dan Peters and bassist Guy Maddison, and to bring about a cohesive whole not entirely ruled by the almighty riff.
