Same story as usual: Mick Harris states he's stopping Scorn for ever, everybody weeps, and somebody comes around to convince him to record a new album. "Refuse; Start Fires" is the xth come-back for Scorn, who pretty much takes things where they had been left up with "Stealth". And still, even though a live drummer appears on some track, this album is much less of a percussive and dynamic affair: the tracks are much calmer, the bass is closer to what it was on "Greetings from Birmingham" and, surprise, though Mick Harris has expressed his disdain for dubstep over and over again, there's an honest-to-god dubstep wobbly track in the lot. Heavy, bassy, Scorny.
