This is a weird one because I only dislike one thing about the album, but it's so big that it makes it really hard to enjoy everything else. I can't stand the vocals, it sounds like a really bad Geddy Lee, and I actually don't mind his vocal style, but I just don't like it here. I've always found bass heavy post-punk works better with deeper voices and the juxtaposition between the melody and vocals is so jarring that I just can't get into the music.

If you're starved for new post-punk that really does sound like it stepped out of a time capsule from 1979 then this album will provide the melodies, but I can't guarantee you won't run into the same problem as me with the vocals.
I actually kind of like the vocals, she reminds me of Siouxise Sioux. It's in my top ten albums of the year so far but it loses marks for lack of originality despite being very enjoyable and very well executed.
