Control

A heavy, cynical concept record exploring suburban rot. Distorted guitars and deadpan vocals deliver a narrative of infidelity, greed, and inevitable mortality.

It's the heaviest, meanest, and most brilliant thing Bazan ever wrote about how much adulthood can suck.

A relentless, articulate exploration of suburban disillusionment and moral decay.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring, heavy guitar crunch that kicks in during the first track, signaling a departure from their softer roots.
The chillingly calm delivery of the medical details in Priests and Paramedics over a steady, funeral-march beat.
The way the drums lock into a punishingly tight groove during the climax of Second Best.
