Intense, visceral, and relevant, the synth rock vets take aim at global affairs and demand action over fear and panic on a stellar 14th set.

"The new political focus has inspired a return to riffs and melodies that stick....The album switches things up in its center with a string of songs about relationships..." -- Grade: A-, 3.5 out of 5 stars -- "Nearly every song on SPIRIT laments the death of human decency, often in disarmingly beautiful ways....It's easy to get swept away in their gospel."
