After a few years on hiatus and a couple of new bands forming out of the ashes of the initial breakup, Brisbane's melodic punk rockers return with an absolute masterpiece of an album. Instantly likeable from the first haunting and harrowing guitar lead combined with the infectious vocals of Shane Collins, one soon realises just how fucking good the Gifthorse really are and just how much they have been missed, as the momentum doesn't  let up for the next eight songs that follow. Songwriting really doesn't get any better than this and yet this is a band that is still gowing in stride and stature. Praise whatever mythical creature of your choice and rejoice in the return of the Gifthorse, just don't go looking them in the mouth.
