After 24 years away, Chapel Hill's Archers of Loaf return with their fifth album, the follow up to 1998's White Trash Heroes. If you arrive at Reason in Decline expecting a continuation of the loose-limbed, wild-eyed, and reckless Loaf of old, you will be surprised at what you find. Their appeal back then lay partly in their delectably haphazard nature, Eric Bachmann's screamed melodies and vicious lyrics striving to surface through crashing waves of Eric Johnson's guitar.
