Product Description
Contents: This is the final album from This Heat's active period. Further evolving the layered structure that blended vocals, powerful rhythms, and sound manipulation established in "Health & Efficiency," this is an intensely powerful work that lays bare a fierce political and anger toward modern society. While maintaining an uncompromising experimentalism, the appeal of each song is even higher than on their first album, making this literally progressive and overwhelmingly rocking work the pinnacle that This Heat reached. A solitary masterpiece that anticipated post-rock and popular music, and remains at the forefront of the genre, this is an absolutely essential and must-listen! Released in a definitive edition with a new remaster by the band themselves, a paper jacket for the first time, and SHM-CD! Media Reviews and More: This is the final album from This Heat's active period. Further evolving the layered structure that blended vocals, powerful rhythms, and sound manipulation established in "Health & Efficiency," this is an intensely powerful work that lays bare a fierce political and anger toward modern society. Maintaining an uncompromising experimental spirit, the appeal of each individual track is even higher than on their first album, making this album, which is literally progressive and overwhelmingly rock-oriented, the pinnacle that This Heat has reached. Foreshadowing post-rock and subsequent popular music, this solitary masterpiece remains at the forefront and is an absolutely essential and must-listen! (C)RS
