I was JUST about to post them. This album rocks, and their whole sound rocks. I've literally never heard anything like it.

And just to let yall know, their influences are primarily psychadelic, 60's British rock, traditional Japanese opera (noh), Japanese noise bands, J-pop, and yes, black metal. As you can imagine, they sound beautifully insane. And incredibly threatening as well.

Excellent. I would agree about it being the second best album. I think Ye, Renew the Plaintiff is one of the greatest things he's ever written.
I wrote that song was my favorite and then edited it

If by "alright" you mean "terrifically great", I agree.

I don't think it's a bad cover at all. It shows the two hemispheres of the brain, the "animalistic" uncivilized naked man and the "proper civilized" well-dressed man. And about the ass-cheeks, it would have been a lot less appealing and proper and sellable to have the naked guy facing the camera than having his ass to the camera.

Don't you see though that's what makes it so bad, there's no subtlety or depth at all in that pic, it's the visual equivalent of a 7th grade love poem.

you can fairly well say that for all Hipgnosis designed covers

they wanted to put a man hanging from a noose for Paul McCartney's Tug of War
