All I can say is if you have any chance to see them live...take it. There are a handful of shows that I've been to that legitimately go down as incredibly memorable, and that show is now on my list. I can't even explain in words how their music sounds live and at the volume they play it. It's seriously a trip with no drugs. At the end of the show, they played "Feed Me With Your Kiss" and the bridge turned into a 10 minute wall of noise played as loud as they could possibly play it. I'm not even exaggerating...it was pure noise. It was so disorienting I started to hear things in it that I'm sure weren't there. I'm sure most people wouldn't like that sort of thing...and I'm not sure I want to experience it again just for fear of hearing loss...but it was seriously something amazing.
