| This CD isn't TFK's best, but it is the album that got me into them, so I still enjoy it a lot when I listen to it. The "live" sound of having all of the instruments recorded at the same time makes it a bit more musically diverse from their older stuff. It sounds very industrial and raw in places. The main problem is that, after What Do We Know, the energy of the album seems to drop off and never quite recovers. The three tracks before that, the title track, New Drug and Falls Apart, are all exemplary, but after that, the best song on the CD is probably Inhuman. Wish You Well has a lot of potential, but has always fallen flat to me. And Broken Wing, Safest Place, and Learn To Breathe are all, unfortunately, not very memorable. The album is solid, not great, a good listen, but hardly TFK's best.
