Basically a worse and more disgusting version of Primus. They get props in that they sounded totally unique, perhaps even to this day. Even for Avant-Garde metal, this is really weird stuff. Not that this came out of nowhere – the band had been putting together demos and EPs of Avant-Garde Funk Metal for a few years, making them unequivocally pioneers of this style of music.
The thing about this album is that every aspect of it – from the vocals, to the lyrics and humor, to the disjointed, eclectic songwriting and sound – are all acquired tastes. Very strong flavors that you either love or hate. For fans of the bizarre and “out there,” this is quite frankly a treasure trove of unique ideas and execution. For me, it’s just a lot of things that I don’t enjoy meshed together into a long, messy record.

album zneje neskutočne cirkusantsky a klaunovsky. A keďže cirkus a ani klaunov nemusím, moje hodnotenie bude nízke. Nerozumiem, ako niekto môže toto označiť ako kult a klasiku tvrdej experimentálnej scény, ale veď každý máme iný vkus, tak čo už... Niektoré zvuky a "melódie" mi až neskutočne vadili. Zároveň určite to NIE JE metal. Je to skôr kombinácia... Read More
