Every distant once in a while I put this in the changer and it never fails to fascinate and amaze me. The complete freedom that the composer/producer/musician displays on this album is astounding. The constant conflict between perfect, industrial rhythms and unidentifiable-yet-in-key noises and effects is groundbreaking and mesmerizing. While the lyrics are startling in their honesty I suspect that they are presented in the context of intelligent satire rather than for brutal shock effect. Any musicologist should enjoy this alternative and intriguing journey into unknown musical territory.
