Doesn't it just get on your tits when a band fucks around tweaking strings and tapping the ride cymbal before beginning a song properly? Well, 248 seconds into "Fistolero" nothing substantial has happened, just tuneless jamming, and no one's singing yet. As much as I hate to seem indifferent or hostile toward bands swaying from Godspeed's stretched nipples, I have to ask: Whathefuck? Are you guys just too deep for a singer? Rock n Roll's not like a good Beethoven jam at the local community college. Post-punk without vocals is like chocolate without peanut butter, and tonight someone just forfeited their integrity. Who was it that said 98% of everything was shit? I usually disagree, but not after seven minutes of "Stuntcop."

RATING: D
