Probably my favourite post punk album I’ve heard. It’s super poppy and atmospheric at the same time. The guitar work on this is phenomenal and the drums are always keeping the groove going and getting super funky at times. I tried to re listen to this a couple of weeks ago and thought it wasn’t good anymore. I think that was just one of the intro songs where his voice was a bit too much but the rest of the album still holds up.
