Noise rock and math rock are both pretty big right now. Since Polvo had a hand in shaping both it's only fitting that they make a triumphant return with their upcoming album, Siberia. Their actual comeback was more properly 2009's In Prism, but even if four years is only a third of the time they took off for their break up it's still kind of an eternity in today's age. "Total Immersion" is almost too busy - I literally had to double check to see if I accidentally had two songs playing at once - but somehow they manage to tie it all together.

Converge: "Aimless Arrow"
At which point does "math rock" become "meth rock"?
Trick question: they were the same thing all along. Certainly helps to be rendered spastic if you're going to jam to the likes of Converge, who return here after an absurd three year layoff with the first cut from their forthcoming All We Love We Leave Behind. Wait a minute, wasn't that the name of a fucking U2 record?
