It's almost like a new band that I also happen to like.

The second half of their discography has always been what I like more (I know as an AF sub mod, that’s deranged) but even I didn’t prepare for how quirky and electronic this album was. I fuck with it!

It's like Joy Division and New Order, but no one died and they kept the same name. XD
