Dude incredible

"Lige så intenst sammenbidt og tænderskærende musikken lyder, lige så lemfældigt tages der visse steder på selve tekstsiden, som i You Came In Me om sex, Riding Bikes om vandalisme og cykelture, eller på All The Surveyors, hvor Albini skabagtigt giver den som krage. Dette er dog blot abstraktioner for den energiudladning, Bob Westons bankende bas, Todd Trainers tumultariske trommespil og Albinis knivskarpe indhug i guitaren med sit obligatoriske metalplekter fremtryller".

"Albini's a sweaty mess, Weston's bass only gains more meat to it over the years, and Todd Trainer remains a drummer whose every hit sounds like it hurts a hundred times more than the last. It's like they took a look at what they were doing and pulled everything apart, rediscovering the level of discomfort that drives them, and working out why they really need to be doing this in the process. Prior records often contained a track or two that were lost somewhere between inspiration, endurance tests, and technical feats (...) but there's none of that here. Instead, Shellac go straight for your throat and don't loosen their grip until the bitter end".
