Double Dagger - Sleeping With the TV On
Masks (Thrill Jockey)

I guess it’s not realistic to expect anything on the level of Double Dagger’s previous record, More, which was definitely one of the best records of last year.  But I was hoping for more of a standout track on this EP, and I’m not sure I feel like we got one.  ”Sleeping With the TV On” might be the closest to rivaling More in great punk, with it’s accelerating tempo and blasts of energy.

This EP sounds like Double Dagger, which is good, but it sounds like them being lazy.  That’s the last thing I was expecting.  It’s definitely still worth some time, but on the heels of an excellent full-length, I was hoping for something more.

Eh, who am I kidding? This is still better than 99% of what’s out there. Go get it, I’m just being spoiled.
