Mission of Burma - The Sound The Speed The Light

Mission Of Burma's fourth LP is a departure from the pinned-needles roar of 2006's The Obliterati. Far more spacious and dynamic, it blasts off with the anthemic, catchy "1, 2, 3, Partyy!," a classic Burma rocker on a level with "This Is Not A Photograph" or "Certain Fate." Other tracks, such as "Feed," "Forget Yourself" and "Slow Faucet" are slow, hypnotic builders. "Good Cheer" is a burst of almost uncontainable joy that literally explodes from the speakers.
