Coming of age

Review Score: (10/10)
From the first eerie notes of "Scoundrel Days" I knew that this was going to be vastly different than their first album. What is this? All these songs are dwelling on murder, on fear? What else is this? They are making use of a real drummer! Kudos for that! The songs are like no other the band has made. I'm not sure what led the band into the outer rim of hell, but they certainly came back with a macabre, dark treat. Each song has some underlying darkness (if it isn't obvious), yet they pull it off without making you want to off yourself in the end. From start to finish this is a great great record. High points: I'VE BEEN LOSING YOU, OCTOBER, THE WEIGHT OF THE WIND, THE SWING OF THINGS.
