The foundation of this album is very solid post-punk. It is textured music that holds a very strong baseline of quality. There are a few moments here that are exceptional however. The atonality of “Happy For You” fascinates and works so well with the tone of the album. “Tongue” brings in some very interesting tricks from modern rap. “Demolition” goes.
I do wish that there were more strong moments but there is also never a weak moment and the album’s singular tone does really well for it, even if I think you have to be Irish for it to truly resonate.
