I liked this more as a whole than Sweet Ablutions. I think Baptized still is my favorite song by Aler, but I feel like there is even more consistency here.
This is actually pretty good, but I am going to dock it some points for the AI use. Musically speaking, at times it was rough around the edges but wow this was not bad at all.
Very inconsistent for me at least writing wise. I think overall it's a good album, I just think it goes from a few stellar tracks to a number of tracks which are, in my book, simply "ok" or which have a few notes for me.
Favorite track(s): Secrets, Ruins, Drink
Forgot about Hole Dwelling, rediscovered it, checked out the whole project. Great stuff.
(88 -> 91)
It has become a crucial repeat album for me already, it has now entered the territory of White Pony, Around the Fur, and private music for me.
As far as additions go, the DLC pack additions definitely have a lot more to offer than the few additions unique to this Director's Cut. No complaints, but no particular stand outs (rating solely the ones unique to this reissue)
A bit hectic but after coming around to Death Grips on "The Money Store" this sounds quite nice, after a few listens it may grow on me as well.
