No Means No One is their ninth studio album, and in typical fashion it is a monster - eight songs in a whopping 63 minutes, including two covers: the Ramones' anthemic "Beat on the Brat" with ominous Sabbath overtones and - heresy! - Rob has created a storyline for Miles Davis' post-bop classic "Bitch's Brew", which features guests Mark Critchley (itch) and Dave Macanulty (Royal Grand Prix) on keyboards and congas respectively.
Guitarist Tom Holliston has been in the band throughout the 1990's and has come of age on this new album - on "A Little Too High", a savage paean to cocaine psychosis, he funnels his influences into the brothers' percussive maelstrom, wielding his own special dementia. "Our Town" is a typical NoMeansNo tour de force, an epic tale told in lockjaw rhythm, swelling and heaving in great tidal waves, guaranteed to make your neck ache.
