!!!’s second album adds some much-needed variety to the mix. The songs feel more fleshed out, with tempos and instrumentation that suit each. It also sounds as though the vocals have been tamed somewhat. As a result, this is a much more immediately gratifying album and also one that is more rewarding to repeated listens. There are still some silly moments, like “Pardon My Freedom” which also has one of the best bass-lines on the album. This silliness is tempered somewhat by a general political awareness in the lyrics. This is certainly catchier and more varied than the band’s debut, which makes it both more fun and more mature despite some tracks that don’t seem to go anywhere.
6.8 / 10
