“Eton Alive” adds much to their impressive discography while losing none of Williamson’s anger, it just channels more alluringly. I don’t know how they do it but they just keep getting better

Loud And Quiet
One of their strongest records so far; a hellfire missive thrown down by a band still very much at the peak of their powers
