Hahahahahahahahaha! Their album art is a cock. That's epic.

Decided not to stay up last night to get this, but it doesn't seem to matter because their personal site is slow as fuck right now. At least they included a link in that Pitchfork article.

I hope this album destroys those two lame tracks found in their website.

It does I guess. True Vulture Bare was just a b-side, this one has some awesome tracks, although NLDW is, as usual, a grower. And it's a bit more hit-and-miss, cos one or two tracks have a pretty damn bland production.

So far I'm up to "Lock Your Doors," and it's pretty good so far. Ton of tracks to go, though. My guess is it will do what the last two albums did, start trailing off and becoming mediocre near the end.

Some of the less tracks are later on, yeah (I don't like Stockton, for example), but the last track is one of the best off the album.

I have to agree, I think "Artificial Death in the West" is the best song off the album and the one that really stands out by being so different.

About to give this a listen. LOL at the album cover.

I'm on my 3rd listen...

Easily, I think the best track is semi-eponymous No Love. The drums and loop are as evil sounding as anything they've ever done. Other highlights for me include Deep Web, Come Up and Get Me and Bass Rattles Stars Out of the Sky. Lowlights would be Black Dice, Pop and Whammy. I don't really like Lil' Boy, but I think it's a parody more than anything else.

But Gucci is right. This one is gonna be a grower.

Oh, I don't know if anyone has seen it, but their website has been shutdown. Epic says they have nothing to do with it, allegedly...

And one last edit...

If you want an alternate album cover (But why would you?!) Here are some options and I recommend the last one.

Haha, the last one is great.

It's also hilarious how the ones of the guy in the hoody look like he's holding his junk.
