"I heard butter and cheese help give you lucid and more vivid dreams. Voltaire also drunk more than a dozen cups of coffee a day to help with his writing. Caffeine causes hallucinations taken in huge amounts apparently. I can't stress the huge part enough, it would take 8+ 250ml Red bulls to get t..."  [+]  Reply

"Good memories of some of these songs (Witchcraft, Watercolour, Fountain, Self vs Self) from my teens. Listened to the whole album and quite a lot of it is dross to be fair. Not too much to shout about other than the 4 I already mentioned - but I'll shout out Encoder and Crush. Really like Witchcr..."  [+]  Reply

"It never fails to amuse me how Hurts manage to bring out the rock-bore in certain circles - you know the type "I like meat and two veg authentic guitar rock music none of this poncey farting around with synthsiser queer shit" The sort of people who like the Human League or the Pet Shop Boys now b..."  [+]  Reply

"1. Before you listen to this album be sure to download the "concept EP" spectrum/14th century by Owen pallett. It is set in the same universe as the concept of this album, and is essentially an extension of its storyline. It really helps you get a better sense of the characters that are involved ..."  [+]  Reply

Not a lot of catchiness to this, but at the same time, it seems to be a thing in the 2010s. Lack ..."  [+]  Reply

"It's a shame that this is ranked so low knowing this is one of the best works of Trent Reznor of all time. Catches everything about his musicality in a very different perspective. I love this soundtrack."  Reply
