"Mixing Noise rock with sludgy, doomy, stoner metal has to be one of the best ideas anyone has ever come up with. This album is a full frontal assault of noise and it's just so much fun, fantastic listen, highly recommended to anyone into fast-paced noisy rock/metal" Reply

The main 2 reasons for this are the outstandingly emotive and haunting renditions of Like Spinning Plates and True Love Waits. Many a time have I laid back on m..." [+] Reply
