my favorite concrete-encased swans album by far; a lot of mike's sister abigal is on this one.
don't think i'm shitting anyone saying this is good because mike's a friend, this is good.
there are tons of amateurs on the internet with a fucking computer recording shit, but this guy really has something going for him. i personally think the progression from his first release to this one is very evident and i think there's a lot more he has to offer so this will not be the last time i mention this project.

quite honestly i'm not huge on power electronics (i think there's a fine line between good and crap with this genre, and too many fall into the crap side) but i like this album, it's not one of those bland albums you just hear to know what's up and forget about, this is the type of album that makes you want to listen to it again (as learned in my art theory class: to experience its "beauty" again. :) ) and maybe you'd randomly think about it sometime some day.

my favorite song on this album is "i hate you ice cream" which i plan on playing next week.
