Amazingly, after not caring much at all for any number of the last Shellac albums since At Action Park I find the most recent one to be very worthwhile. Maybe they are refining their more-stripped down-less frenetic sound, or compared to all the other junk out there their current “formula” (or lack of a formula) finally makes more sense to me (and I am getting older). Quite aptly, they have a song entitled “Steady as She Goes”–which could describe any number of aspects of Shellac’s existence.
