New Review Update: The World Is A Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To Die; Radioactivity

Today's first new review is Renaldo Matadeen's take on The World Is A Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To Die's

Then, Matthew Bentel checks out the latest Marked Men-related project Radioactivity and their new album, also called
Radioactivity:

Contributing both reworked Novice tracks and original material, the end result is the eponymous Radioactivity - 13 songs built on '60s garage rock aesthetics, '70s power pop themes, and an unrelenting bent toward infection. Radioactivity sounds like the Marked Men because it is the Marked Men - back from the dead, an evanescent manifestation offering a mix of relief and closure for those still reeling from the Men's absence.
