Oh and in case anyone is thinking righto, the classic "I like your old stuff better than your new stuff", eh? No. I just listened to Churn, their first full album, and TBH I probably wouldn't again. The band were clearly pretty green when they were recording it, and it doesn't have anything like the riffage or vocal power of a tack like The Call from Killjoy, or My Mind's Sedate, from their 1999 album The General Electric.

Careful observers familiar with Shihad's discography will notice I didn't mention the self-titled 1996 album released between Killjoy and The General Electric. That's because it's forgettable cheese, and not really worth mentioning. General Electric was a triumphant return to form, before they changed their to Pacifier* in 2002 and put out yet another album of lame, poppy, tissue paper.

* Shihad apparently sounded too much like "jihad" for epically precious, post-911 US audiences.
