Really good with a few weird play-them-once-skip-them-forever-after tracks. Also an 8.1 on Pitchfork, 0.1 better than the best review they'd had on the site previously (for AM).

Liked the rolling stone article. Got the record but haven’t played it beyond track 1. Haven’t heard any other records by these guys tbh

my fav monkeys song remains "Leave Before The Lights Come On," a non-album single which apparently has a video starring Paddy Considine?

Classic and dud at the same time, great highs, abysmal lows... they obviously have good taste but perhaps they’re too self-conscious.

Humbug is one of their best albums, IMO.
