I shouldn't have to say too much about this one.  If you live in the Twin Cities you're probably well aware of this album's existence.  For what it's worth, however, it seems like this album has come with the least amount of any Atmosphere record since the boys finally broke through with Seven's Travels.  Maybe I just haven't noticed.


I won't get into too many specifics about this one since I plan on crafting a full review for Newest Industry at some point in the next week.  After a couple listens I'm really digging it.  Admittedly, I wasn't a fan of the "full band" direction" Atmosphere embraced on Blood Makes The Blade Holy & The Family Sign.  As such, my expectations for this one were pretty low.  Fortunately, it seems like they've figured out a much smoother way to integrate the live band sounds with Ant beats.  Again, after a few spins I'm really digging it.  We'll talk more about this one later.
