User Album Review
In the two years since their furious and acclaimed debut album, Nothing Feels Natural, Priests have expanded their horizons. Where their debut was concise and focused, their latest record is expansive and more diverse, exploring a whole host punk’s different avenues across its 12 tracks. We hear chaotic noise rock on opening track "Jesus Son", Yeah Yeah Yeahs-tinged dance-punk on its title track and have a healthy dose of slick post-punk on tracks like "I’m Clean" and closing number "Texas Instruments".
As the album progresses, it switches almost at random between this wide range of sounds. Slow, atmospheric number "Not Perceived" has a Cure-recalling '80s post-punk inflection, and sees the whole band at their most melodic; yet it is followed up by the almost polar opposite "Control Freak" - a brutal cut, driven by a thundering drum beat with deranged basslines and discordant guitars from GL Jaguar.
At times, The Seduction Of Kansas can struggle to flow from track to track as a result of the sheer diversity of styles it encompasses, yet while this record might not be as tight and focused as their debut, it is certainly more ambitious. The Seduction Of Kansas is an intelligent and essential record the establishes Priests as masters of their craft, and truly marks them out as one of the most capable punk bands around.
