This rhythm-centered album fuses post-punk tension with funk, Brazilian percussion, horns, industrial atmosphere, and a powerful bass-and-drum engine. Clearer, restrained mixes reveal buried detail while preserving its raw energy, though the revised sequencing can flatten transitions and remove some valuable breathing space.

Critic reviews
- The Quietus: enthusiastic(opens in new tab)by Robert BarrySep 21, 2026
The music is driven by the unusually close relationship between bass and Donald Johnson’s drumming.
