The two new songs I've heard from them aren't bad as such, but they just lack the pent-up frustration and aggression that the band had in their early days. I'm always wary of old bands reforming, becoming a parody of themselves and turning into a nostalgia act. I'll have to hear their new album before I can tell but their new songs do sound a bit early Black Flag-by-numbers. Oh yes and the video for 'The Chase' is terrible, should have just left it at live footage.
