I know some people prefer "Joy As An Act of Resistance" or "Brutalism" but this is one of my favorite albums ever. It has a lot of great performances, interesting guitar tones, and really tight grooves. Car Crash, MTT 420 RR, Progress, and The Beachland Ballroom are my highlights.

Joy as an act of resistance is a stone cold killer of an album. I didn’t enjoy ultra mono as much, but I haven’t checked this one out yet. Hoping it’s a banger.

As somebody who has listened to all of their albums extensively, I can tell you that Ultra Mono felt like a fluke. Crawler is a return to form.

I love ultra mono and this is the first time I've heard people have a problem with it. But imo they have no bad albums.

It's not a bad album per se, but I think they were trying to do too much at that time. Huge boom in popularity from Joy as an Act of Resistance, lots of touring, then going right into Ultra Mono. Maybe it's just me, but it felt rushed.

I can see that. Ultra Mono was my introduction so it was totally fresh for me.

Everything they have put out of just amazing. They were my top bands of 2022, says Spotify. Their LPs are really good, too.

I haven’t stopped listening to Don’t ever fight a man with a perm.

There are no speakers loud enough to properly play "The Wheel".
