After spending much of 2006 on the road with the Hold Steady, Cursive, and Constantine's, The Cops now give you their razor-sharpened second full-length. Dynamiting the walls of classic rock and rebuilding on the crumbling foundations, they've constructed a set filled with scratching, twitching, aching, unholy rock music that still manages to be both familiar and crucially entertaining. Eleven dark roughhousing manifestos. "... The Cops' staccato stop-and-go six string rhythms couple with abusive drumming to create a surprisingly danceable set".
