Beats Per Minute
A tight, fully-realized sequel to their incredible debut. It’s not even just that this record is remarkable given the way it was constructed, good by circumstance — it’s a great record completely on its own terms

Cloud Seed, while containing great moments, is not congruent enough with the dynamic of Degenerate to be a proper follow-up and not distinctly weird enough to stand out on its own
