This is what Noise Rock was fucking made for and you know it you son of a bitch. Atomizer is 10 songs of the most intense rock music you'll ever get the chance to hear in your pathetic life. With guitars sounding like nuclear bombs and robotic unnatural programmed drums these songs create an incredibly unfriendly atmosphere from the first second of wholesome opener Jordan, Minnesota blaring through your speakers. Songs about child rape, racism, sex and police violence are a taste of what Steve Albini and his band of provocative maniacs have in store for you here and just about every single thing about Atomizer fucking shreds. In an age where it seems nothing can offend anymore, and for every Big Black ripoff who tried and failed to capture that magic, there is no band which still confuses and riles people up to this very day quite like this one.
