While waiting for a new Rock revolution, I'm more than happy to settle for small updates or evolutions. A reference-laden album to the core: MBV, J&MC, Sonic Youth, Joy Division, The Cure, NIN, Stooges, Big Black, Cramps, and Gun Club—some in massive doses, others in hit-and-run fashion, but all recognizable. When the outcome is such, long live the Revival. A round of applause for the production.
