Ohhh so angry. Having only really heard a couple songs before, I gotta say I wasn't expecting such roaring yelping cacophony. This is not an album I would always be in the mood to listen to but it sure gets me revved up. Absolutely fitful, nonsensical yelps and screams grate across your eardrums, snippy guitar strums, and just noise noise noise. Looking at the lyrics, it's all really nakedly lewd. There's no hiding that these songs are all about s.e.x. (Shhhhh!)How rock and roll. The album has a really freaked-out vibe, like a really terrible drug trip. We're on the outside looking in though, so it's amusing. Watching someone whig out completely right in front of you. Bongoes come in on "Electronic Wolves." There's twisted electronics and screwed-up, creepy, haunted-house vocal treatments here and there. I'm scared to death of "Chewy Poison" even though it's only a few seconds long. I feel way better when the awesome, slow drum beat of "Executive Foliage" follows it though. This one is filled with an unsettling vocal scream that ends up sounding like angry monkeys in a tropical rainforest. It's indie-metal! Right on. "The Threat Of Nature" is so disturbing in its gentleness at first... and then it gets back to normal. I was really weirded out for a moment there... This is a really cool song though, i love the verses.
Song of choice :
I love the flow of "Electronic Wolves."
