This is really excellent. I haven’t listened to Indian in quite a while. I guess it’s time to revisit “The Syncophant” and “Sights and Abuse.” Have they had a significant line-up change since that recording?

Great piece. I remember listening to “They Threw Us All In a Trench” obsessively, trying to figure out what Rolling Stone saw in it, and being absorbed in the looping, 30-minute closing track every time. I was admittedly excited to hear “They Were Wrong” expand on that sound (in a sense) with strong results. It’s my second favorite Liars album, behind “Drum’s Not Dead,” of course, but still more interesting to me than the self-titled album or “Sisterworld.”

Fans of “They Were Wrong” and “Drum’s Not Dead”-era Liars would do good to check out Snowman’s criminally overlooked 2008 album “The Horse, the Rat & the Swan.”
