i have just the last song to listen to but my preliminary opinion is it's not as good as deloused but it's better than frances.

if frances wouldn't have so much "wasted noise" it would make it a little tougher. it's some wild stuff though.....i am really liking how they mix up the time signatures

Have you seen them in concert yet? You may be a little disappointed if you haven't. They improv alot! There show is similar to the style ("wasted noise") that is played on Frances.

I saw them open for SOD in Newprot News (same tour). It was only a sample of what I'd seen them do before in Boston. I believe they only played 4 songs in 70 minutes. I walked out of the show after hearing three SOD songs.

SOD

I had seen them in Boston two or three years back at the Avalon (across from Finway (sp.?) park). Obviously before Frances came out. They played for two hours straight. It is, to date, the best show I have ever attended. They slayed much gash that night!

Enon and JR Ewing opened up that night in Boston also
