...this a classic 80s album. Certainly one of the top ten of that decade. Every song is killer. "Discipline" era King Crimson meets "Remain In Light" Talking Heads and then some. Dark, beautiful, and a real headphone experience. This is the last Shriekback album to feature Karl Marsh on vocals and guitar.

Even though I think this marks the beginning of a downward trend in their music, Oil & Gold still has its redeeming features. Malaria gets things off to a familiar, if somewhat more freneticly paced, start before Side ... Read More
