After finally listening, i consider this an overall upgrade from Bastard. While Bastard had it strengths, it felt a little repeated to me after awhile, but here i find the ideas touched on before (rape kill hate) put into fresher ways. However, there were times where Tyler should have just stopped [all the slack on Radicals, Fish got old quick, Analog, the slightly odd placement of AU79, Goblin especially didn't bring the strength of Bastard (the tracks, i mean, but Tyler is even aware of this)]. Overall though, i was thoroughly impressed and found it an upgrade from his previous release. I love that the storyline started to shine through by the middle of the album, too. My highlights would be:
Transylvania
Yonkers
Window
She
BTW: I rated great for the reasons above. Even the worst moments weren't awful, just unnecessary.
