3 isn't great, but it's a pleasant, noisy indie record. In addition to this noise it also has a psychedelic edge to it I like on songs like "Sun Hot" and "Summer Bummer," which is an element that I have yet to see in another Car Seat Headrest album.

I can't properly say what I think about this album as its just too punishing to listen to, but please do listen to it if you want to feel like dirt.
