#1407 Death from Above 1979 - The Physical World

A smoothed-out version of that drum-and-scorching-bass, muscular sound we first (and last!) heard on album 10 years ago. What this looses in visceral, creepy aggression it gains in pure hookiness - this is undeniably a more listenable, wall to wall with headbobbing, undeniable lines, reading much more as roughed-up dancepunk than catchy noise rock. Pure riffage, punchy, if ephemeral 3.5/5
