Recording information: Hallamusic, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Photographer: Dallas Wehrle. For their fourth full-length and first for Canada's Arts & Crafts Records, Constantines took their time and deepened their comfort with the studio as established on this album's predecessor, TOURNAMENT OF HEARTS. Keyboardist Will Kidman's delay-laced riffs are newly jacked in the mix on tracks such as the lead-off, "Hard Feelings," while vocalist Bryan Webb emphasizes the softer, more intimate side of his voice as much as his trademark Springsteen-gone-hardcore yowl, as heard on the menacing "Trans Canada." For his part, Steve Lambke contributes "Shower of Stones," a rumbling storm of distorted bass and organ reminiscent of Oneida. Unchanged, however, is the Guelph, Ontario, quintet's righteous self-righteousness, the sense of working class anger that has powered their thicket of riffs since their debut, and places the band's emotional core on a plane with Fugazi and early U2.
