The good news is that this is one of the best DEP releases ever.
The bad news is that they *still* don’t know what to play when he sings. If they’d just stop it with that nonsense, we could move on to something wholly enjoyable.
While this one is still super Dillinger-y, its less about technical wanksmanship and more about ATTITUDE. And boy, is there lots of it. This is a dark, mean, rad record, and it’s cool to hear DEP knee-deep in the cut of a signature sound.
