Has anyone given the new Shellac record a listen? Does anyone care?

Yeah, they're pretty cute.

I CARE!!!
I haven't heard it yet but I love me some Shellac!

Seriously. It's been 7 years. I'm surprised there's not a little more buzz surrounding it.

Shellac don't get much respect. They get more attention in the UK than in the US which is sad because they're from Chicago. I can't wait to hear it! Have you given it a listen yet?

Yup. It's good, it's not a huge departure from their older material. They're pretty much just sticking to what they do best: sharp guitar riffs with the tightest sounding bass and drums in the business.

It's by far the most humorous shellac record in my opinion. It has a less dramatic mood and the production is even drier than usual. It's like a funny punch in the face.

Thanks for the reply. Steve Albini doesn't usually do wrong.
