i like it. the fact that steve fisk was back behind the boards is crucial. that guy has the midas touch. as great a songwriter as gedge is, working with albini on seamonsters and then fisk on watusi sure didn't hurt. the guitars just sound so fucking vibrant.
there are a couple boring tracks on this new one, and there's really not that much to distinguish it from the recent cinerama stuff, but it does have a bit more edge to it, a little less cheery. but i haven't kept up with all the cinerama stuff. basically, if you like gedge, you'll find enough to like here to merit picking it up.
