Highly recommended.
CD digipak.
The band's 3rd album was produced by Steve Albini and it stands as their best yet. The attack of "Mess of Wires" is a dead ringer for Big Black, and the painful screaming recalls Sonic Youth or Unwound at their most vicious. Not many bands of the day dare to be this bleak while simultaneously being melodic and catchy, as so many of these tunes are actually very hummable and stick in your head for days.
