So this is my favourite album ever, I love it so much. I try to refrain from listening to it too much, in case I spoil it for myself and need a longer absence from it.
The band consists of Lowell Schafer (vocals, guitar, lyrics), Nic Kuczynski (bass), and Nicholas Clemenson (drums).
"Artificial Bouquet" perfectly balancing intensity, beauty, and depressiveness - the album's ... read more
The album can be fun but it's really damn cringe. I wouldn't wanna be caught listening to this. Masochist Machine and Coldmetalkiss are easily the best songs here imo.

I love the instrumentation here, not a big fan of the vocals, but they're usually decent so it's fine. This album is like a roulette between a catchy enjoyable song, to a corny song (ex. ".Bury Me.").
Favourites: Spit, Mirror Soul, Talk is Cheap
The second half is peak, first half is mostly boring. Also there's more than 16 tracks and "Streets of Karnaca (Combat)" is not a real song, don't know why that's there.
Highlights: "Dishonored 2 Main Theme", "Jewel of the South", "Watery Grave"
Primary Genre: Drone
Secondary Genre: Ambient

This is enjoyable, but also mediocre, it's nothing like what they would later make being "Swan Dive", which is truly a 10/10 album. Track 1 and 5 sound like demos for Swan Dive I think - I find that to be mildly cool.
