This album just works from beginning to end. It's more conventional and less fun and anarchic than their debut but I wouldn't say better, just different.

Wow, that was probably quite awesome 😎

I agree.

The best WAotD so far, Faust is one of the greatest bands of all time.

It's not better than Faust, though, it's about as good as So Far and The Faust Tapes, I'd say, all four of them among the best albums from countries other than Australia, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom or United States. No, wait, I mean, in the whole world 😜
