jack-knife sound on the guitars, Bob Weston on bass (how else can u really describe it?), the usual Albini cavernous drum sound...

at times this sounds more like a sound installation than rock...the effect is disquieting.

"The End of Radio" recommended in particular, b/c it's the most on-target depiction of world Armageddon I've heard, even in metal. No small feat.



opening this CD packaging is a fucking project, though, like five steps or so!

I appreciate it

some of these songs are heavier than metal, because well, they're playing on metal guitars!

I'm curious about this.

Haven't heard much of their stuff but I am totally gay for Big Black. The Racer X ep is one of the greatest records in existence.

You are now my enemy.

Listen to the songs "Kerosene" and "Bad Penny" and just try to tell me it didn't make you fist bang. One of my fav. bands ever.

oh yeah Prayer to God has the best lyrics!

I'm sure anyone who's been cheated on in a relationship can pretty much make that their ANTHEM.
