An admirable but not entirely fulfilling effort,
encapsulates the somewhat squandered career of its creators. The final

and
provide powerful
that transcends the
categorization often (and inappropriately) assigned to the band. But
's playing is a minor disappointment as her fractured drumming fails to supply the support her bandmate's fine riffing deserves.
's fractured
revolves around
's toxic, wildly unpredictable yelping. The frontwoman remains intense throughout
, really getting her vocal act together on highlight tracks
When she's at her best,
roars along with her band, creating music imbued with feral anxiety. Too often, things get off-track rhythmically;
tries to go it alone, and the band flounders as

is not equal to the potential sum of its parts. ~ Vincent Jeffries
