Last month i saw A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS in Amsterdam; it was the show where i bought the Ego Death 2010 tour EP. They were playing some songs of their new album WORSHIP as well, which was not released yet at the time. Great songs so i was sure to buy this album when it came out two weeks ago. Compared to their previous two full lengths (A Place To Bury Strangers and Exploding Head), this new album sounds a little more polished. Not necessarily a bad thing in my eyes. One of my friends said he misses that "vacuum cleaner sound" of the other albums a bit; and maybe that describes it best. Don't expect an easy-listening album though. A really nice piece of noise/shoegaze, even when the guitar wall-of-sound isn't as thick as it used to be.
