Polished, aggressive alternative rock defined by massive gang-vocal choruses and Ken Andrews' signature thick production. A cynical, high-energy swan song.
March 30, 2012 · Epic (2)
Weapons feels like the sound of a band attempting to reconcile their arena-rock ambitions with a growing sense of disillusionment. The production, handled by Ken Andrews, provides a thick, metallic sheen that elevates the record above standard radio rock, giving the guitars a serrated edge and the drums a mechanical, thumping precision. It is an album of high-stakes energy, where every chorus is designed to be shouted back by a crowd of thousands, yet the underlying tone is markedly darker and more cynical than their earlier, sunnier output.
