This thing runs on repetition, tension, and groove, which is exactly why it works for me. The Afrobeat influence gets mentioned a lot and it should, because the whole record feels built from interlocking patterns rather than normal rock structure. It is dense, but it moves. Even when the lyrics get abstract the rhythm keeps the album physical. This US Sire LP has a nice push to it and helps the drums and bass stay in charge. Smart record, but more importantly it actually hits in the body.
