I've always had a spot for xiu xiu set aside in my heart, since hearing hives hives and suha for the first time, the stories portrayed by Jamie Stewart and the gang have captivated me.. For the majority.
In January came the release of their new album Angel Guts: Red Classroom, as some have called it their darkest album to date. Well, here's what I think about it.
As a whole, I really dig this album, from the introduction Angel Guts, to the drum and bass of stupid in the dark. The amount of energy in black dick was intense, seriously, I had to start pacing to calm myself down.
Of course I do have my faults with it. I felt the latter end of the album, as well as Archie's fades were lacking in their production. They contained so little compared to the rest of the album, but even with those detractors, the album is still pretty good.
As far as a rating, I would give it about a 8.
