Knew this one gonna be special after the single kicked all kinds of ass. My gut reaction is that this is their best yet. Raw, but in a "band in a room" way, rather than a broken tape recorder way. Bits of melody, but they've also gone deeper into noise. Scratches the mid-'80s SY feedback itch at points.
The first two Catherine Wheel albums are indeed pretty great!
If anyone is disappointed with the new deafheaven, you may console yourself by imagining George Clarke screaming "your skin is black-metallic": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcrj-FFK4MM
