I suppose. I kind of take that album as an old band's take on what the new bands are doing, and it reminds me a lot of what modern post punk sounds like. In that way it's kind of an outsider's perspective of what reviving original post punk would sound like, not to mention that post punk is ambiguous as all hell, so wouldn't the revival be similar? Plus I guess if you wanted to be a semantic douchebag (I've got you covered, don't worry), they are a literal revival of the classic era of post punk. I honestly don't know much of the genre and have only heard a little more than half of the list, but I just wanted to float Citizen Zombie if you were looking for something good, as you had requested.
