I don’t know what happened to Crude, but they went from this pretty archetypical burning spirits style band to … whatever this is. It’s low fi, and stripped down - and not in a good way. This sounds like a bunch of guys fucking around in the garage on a 4-track, which is strange given the decent fidelity of their earlier work. They even re-record Will Understand In The Future, and just make it sound like butt. A huge step back that I have never been able to get into. Shout out to the Boston harbor on the cover.
