Thank FUCKING God They have returned. And I'm saying...they haven't sounded this fresh and fun since '96 in "Factory Showroom. "The Spine" and "The Else" just sounded like off-shoots of "Mink Car" which just sounded very contained and...strangely eager to be conventional. "Join Us" goes back to the roots, and has some of their familiar oddball symbolism and nice head-bobbing riffs. to be stll making good music at 50 is impressive; but to still be able to be irreverant and not come off as senile or trying too hard is an accomplishment. they tried the handcuffs but they won't lock; electrical courses but they won't shock; you pulled the fire alarm, you tried punching a cop, you're just too tired to stop, you old pine box. |
