    Noisy aggressive post punk music here, similar to Joy Division, Bowhouse and Holograms. Full of energy, ferociousness, re-verb and decent production. Not really engaging though and the vocals are pretty uninteresting. The songs don't stick much either to me.

    Singer/lyricist George Mitchell sings clean and fairly melodically, but with convincing disaffection.

    The Eagulls’ album does a fantastic job of funneling the band’s energy. That’s the good part. But as for the subtleties--the way that players interact, the fit between chug and melody, the depth that emerges with occasional negative space--you won’t find any of that here.

    A single-minded, yet ultimately baffling experience. [Apr 2014, p.95]
