"Got me a movie, I want you to know, slicing up eyeballs, I want you to know."

When I first heard this album, I absolutely hated it, but over time the distorted guitars and maniacal screaming about dead monkeys, mutilation, and 1920s surrealist films came to grow on me.

Favourite tracks: Here Comes Your Man, Debaser, Hey, Monkey Gone To Heaven, Mr. Grieves, Wave Of Mutilation, Dead
