Describing your 14th studio album as a “sequel of-sorts” to an album that’s 21 years old might seem like an act of desperation.
Luckily for Therapy?, that's not the case. In many ways, the parallels between 1994's seminal Troublegum and Disquiet are audible; the ferociousness of Andy Cairns' growl on Still Hurts, the frenetic brashness of Torment Sorrow Misery Strife, the brazen raucousness of Insecurity.
Similarly, the trio's experience in the two decade-long interval counts for a lot; the measured skulk of Idiot Cousin makes an impact without inducing bleeding of the ears.
There’s not much innovation, but that’s not entirely necessary. After a couple of iffy albums, this fine rock record is a definite return to form.
