Wanted to write a cohesive review dissecting lyrical motifs and musical inspirations, BUT I'm gonna just let my associations roam free this time:
i just BET the record tastes like drunken cherries, mustard and smoke, and smells like leather jackets, wet wooden boards, metal (more like hands after you've held any metal item), dark bitter chocolate and pepper.

or, (dis)respectfully, what the fuck? did I just witness (pun intended)?
my childhood is ruined, my tea is lukewarm - but not as lukewarm as the music, it seems
oh, hello, "vocal lines to get stuck singing until someone knocks you out" - the album
The band is captured at their uncanniest here.
Rating's a bit lower than for their next album because (despite me liking the record overall), unfortunately, the vocals really ARE too weird for me sometimes (see Polynesia, Verbatim....), although I might be terminally missing the point and being annoying was the goal (lol).
WHY do i sort this into a 'moomin valley / animation with talking animals that's weirdly too sad for children' - soundtrack category in my mind??
I'm SO sorry... lmao
Okay, seriously now - every song is a banger, could probably recite the lyrics in my sleep if i hadn't have to remember a lot of work-related shit :(
Brb adding all songs into my 'nonbinary jam' playlist (if it existed not only in my head)
'oh bitch, I might enter into my pure mode', I mouth the words as I wash the dishes in my small uncleaned Slavic kitchen at 7am, turning around every 30 seconds because it seems someone might enter the room
