"FOR ALL YOU ABC-1S OUT THERE..." is another ten minutes of compelling argument against the need for vocals. Opener, PAPER CUT, is one long (but fairly engaging) build-up to its final, bursting crescendo of pummeling riff and hammering hi-hats, a ball-breaking ending steeped in energy and power. RIVER COTTAGE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX is full of sections so mathy that nobody should be penalized for assuming that this is a badly rehearsed math band. Top marks for the verse in this one lads...da da da
da da da, DA! Who'd have thought?! THREE BRIDGES is an example of what Illness do best in it's purest form: hammer away unrelentingly at one idea for about two minutes, but how do they make it so catchy? And finally, the penultimate section of closing track, EARLY & RUDE is the band that Illness secretly want to be: it's all soul, soul, soul!
