I love the SWANS, but this album fell a little short for me. The "music" does not serve as an adequate backdrop for the vocals. It's as if they grabbed a microphone and just recorded what they said with an available track of noise. I'd recommend you skip this one in favor of "Great Annihilator".

this, it's the 20th anniversary, I'd be surprised if it didn't get a reissue around the end of the year
