Where the lyrics could be ignored on their last album—or allowed to fade into the mix as a sort of campy soundtrack-to-a-soundtrack—the Thermals have made them the centerpiece here; something vaguely about reflections of life after metamorphosis and death in the ocean, but honestly who cares? Much of the guitar work seems warmed-over from their last...

The instrumental fade out adds an eloquent touch to the end of the song. In “This Tornado Loves You,” the raw force of Case’s melodies breaks out of its cage. The song begins with constant guitar tremolo and quick, brushed cymbal strokes, feeling like...
