I AM NOT NORMAL AND I MUST SING.
Two tracks in particular are killing me. My insides are all wrong. Obviously, there was a good reason to put off taking this plunge for like a frakking year. DAMNIT.
Top notch gothiness. Sounds old school and yet somehow fresh. Its DNA contains strains from the greats of old like Siouxsie, The Cure, Christian Death and, uh...maybe a pinch of Hüsker Dü.
There's a lot to digest here, so much so that it took me a whole year. I regurgitated most of it for my nestlings. They have grown up fierce and strong and merciless. UBIQUITOUS OWL--UBIQUITOUS OWL!!!!
A triumphant rejuvenation from the depths of navel-gazery. PLUS BLASTBEATS! All bands who did not release this album this year should feel pointless and ashamed.
