Well duh. What do you think of Ice Cream for Crow? It's on the level of TMR goes as far as creativity goes.

It is pretty neat, and something I always just assumed was too difficult for anyone to try to pull off.

Found this wishlist item today

You tell me. I think you've made note of being a Pere Ubu fan though, so yes you'd be doing yourself a disservice if kept ignoring the prime beef.

I'd usually recommend Ice Cream for Crow or Shiny Beast, but you should check out his heaviest and punkiest album.

"Dear Bongo, No."
