Made Out Of Babies eagerly-awaited second album, 'Coward', is the sound of a band coming of age, an intense, raging mass that only the masterful production of Steve Albini manages to confine; the fit between band and engineer could not be more unsettlingly appropriate, and Albini has found the pure, furious centre pulsing away at the heart of this dynamic outfit. Compellingly scarred by its emphasis on the disturbing timelessness of human cruelty, 'Coward' is a captivating and intense record that disposes of the comforting illusions of contemporary Western society with each vicious and accurate slash.
