I had to listen to this because I lost a games of 'odds are'. I really should've picked a number higher than 10.

Most of the problems I had with cop seemed to transfer to this record, most notably how g-dang boring some tracks are. But with that being said, I enjoyed this project slightly more as few great tracks actually stand out, whereas cop's enjoyability flat lined from beginning to end. Overrall it's semi-enjoyable but is mostly forgettable.

Cop is a shaky follow up to filth in my opinion. It's by no stretch bad, but I can't say I enjoyed it all the way through, there's so many dull moments and with the slow and draining instrumentals it physically feels like a trudge to get through. This album feels like the annoying but somehow incredibly dull little brother to filth. I didn't enjoy nor enjoy it.

Fitting title, filth. I don't know how to describe it but this music sounds gross... dare I say it smells sour. I enjoyed this album all the way through if you ignore the 5th track. I would pay good money to have Michael Gira yell at me.
