OK
Am I gonna be first? First off, thanks Bob, for the suggestion and the link. Alright, I'm not quite up to believing the hype on this one. It's intense and fun, but ultimately it's been done many times many times better. And mainly by Thirlwell. This would impress me much more if it came out in '87 instead of 2001. Heck, the Foetus album, Hole, offered us all this back in '84. I find that it's very rare for second or third generations to out do the originators and that's how I feel about this. Still, it's a good aggressive record and a fun listen. However, due to it's lateness on the scene i would say it's actually a bit conservative, ironically. Three stars out of five. |

The long songs are seriously taxing. Reminds me a lot of Liquid Liquid; when their songs were short, you could dig them because the repetition didn't wear on too long. However, this encapsulates a lot of irritating redundancy. Fans of early Swans will likely find a lot to dig here, as while it's not as cathartic, it definitely shares the same style of rhythmic backdrops. But I've always seen listening to albums like Filth as being cheated out of 50 cents at a haunted house. Thus, I'm not particularly digging it.

I thought this is their only album, well according to Discogs. Can't find anything on other albums.
Anyway, how come you did a complete turn around when it comes to appreciating their music? I remember you did the same with Throbbing Gristle. Is there something in industrial music that turns you off on the first hearing? And what is it that still draws you to it, despite initial disliking?

I don't know why I do it, but all I know is that I'm working on fixing it. The music just begins to stick with me after a while, and I end up going back to explore it. Strangely enough, Hendrix, VU, and Throbbing Gristle are among my favorite musicians. |
