This still fucks. I really wish they would have stuck with this sound going forward because while its nothing revolutionary I would be very appreciative of this sound in 2024 from someone who isn't a raging racist.
My main complaint with this is that the vocals bring down what would be an amazing summer album. With better vox Driving In My Car would be one of my favorite pop songs of 2020. Shame honestly cuz I fucking adore George.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Its a fun dirty punk album from a band whos name translates somewhat to Punk Fraction of Red Brigades. I like it.
2 8 1 4 hit a stroke of genius with this. This is amazing and a benchmark for the genre. The atmosphere presented here is captivatingly beautiful and at times hauntingly so. Some of the synths guide you sweetly while others attempt to crush and suffocate you.
Deserves its must hear label HARD.

My cousin was obsessed with this album and me being 5 years younger was forced to also listen to it a lot...and I fucking love it. Soviet music specifically the darkwave stuff makes me extremely nostalgic even as someone who wasn't born in the former USSR.
Hauntingly beautiful. Ive fucking loved this album for a few years now and I think it's time to get into their discography soon.
Its crazy that me bumping this from a 98 to a 100 is worthy of me being called stupid. This should have already been a 100. Its got a shout as the best hip-hop album of all time and one of the best albums period.
Saw them live 2 years ago in Lawrence, KS and they played a lot of this. It is a very good album but it live is a peak experience.
Oh! Sweet Nuthin' is one of the best album closers of all time.
Another classic TVU album
IDK why it took me so long to reviewing this. I think this is a must listen midwest emo album. Two Beers In is iconic, Kim Tastie and Pallet Town are bangers. I also really like How I Got My Shrunken Head a lot.
I underrated this but its still nothing amazing. But there are a few really solid tracks.

Same thing with Reverence, it tries too hard and thats a mortal sin with metal music imo.
Start of the end for them in my opinion. I remember this flopping pretty hard in the metal groups I was apart of back then. Still feels flat and like a metal band who went back to sounding like they did 10 years prior.
