This is a surreal, haunting, beautiful collection of songs that is somehow vastly diverse and wonderfully sewn together. Best recommended for listening driving in a car at night.

Every time I pick this album up it gives me something new as a takeaway. Also Jamie Stewart gave me his blessing on naming my band after this album so that's just a really cool thing to note.
Noisy, intense, loud, distorted, and incredible. A lot like the cover looks, the album sounds like total static as a first impression but slowly sharpens into a very concise, very deliberate image. Once you get past that initial hurdle, it really is a rewarding as hell album that uses its recording quality and limitations to its absolute advantage. Plus, the synthesizer that they use throughout the album creates some of the most sinister and haunting drones and melodies I've ever heard when combined with the rest of the band.
This album is powerful. It has so much fucking restraint and you never seem to notice because it's so entertaining throughout. It could have easily been a guy screaming into a feedback heavy, distorted microphone through twelve guitar loops but it wasn't. It's a sophisticated, down to earth, depressing as hell album that's the rest of three whole years of personal experiences that Dominick Fernow went through. The Christian imagery is used tastefully and not in a way that demands to seem deep or edgy. There's classical string compositions and film soundtrack style synth and intense noise and power electronics, and more than anything else it has a very personal, very intimate story that the album wants to tell without falling into the trap of becoming a story or concept album.
This is the weirdest fucking album I've heard in my entire life and I LOVE it. IT's like Frank Zappa met with Boredoms at their early period and said they need to start a grindcore band together. The result is fucking fantastic. It really should say something that this is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I don't even like the genre it came from.
This album is great for lots of the same reasons that Donuts and Closer are great. Pieces largely about death and its consequences written by someone who was very aware of that his untimely death was just around the corner. Coil's final official recording is absolutely heartbreaking and is a tragic piece that deserves to go down in music history.

This one feels really different from Burned Mind and their other material. Instead of being intense and noisy (which it still is, don't get me wrong), it's terrifying. Legitimately frightening and terrifying. The opening track has one of the most blood curdling screams I've heard in my entire life. When I listened to it with my band it scared the shit out of all of us. Thankfully it has continual rises and falls of energy as the album goes along which stop it from being a one trick pony. When it's not slow and ambient and restrained it's heavy and loud and just all around intense. Fucking fantastic.
Every time I hear this album I'm blown away by it. This is Tago Mago levels of fantastic.
