Quinto album per la band alternativa del New Jersey. Titus Andronicus mischiano rock, punk, jazz, pop, anni sessanta, in un cocktail originale e decisamente creativo. Il nuovo lavoro non fa che confermare tutto quello che è stato scritto in precedenza su di loro.
Il meglio, a livello di solista, di Peter Banks.
