The long songs are seriously taxing. Reminds me a lot of Liquid Liquid; when their songs were short, you could dig them because the repetition didn't wear on too long. However, this encapsulates a lot of irritating redundancy. Fans of early Swans will likely find a lot to dig here, as while it's not as cathartic, it definitely shares the same style of rhythmic backdrops. But I've always seen listening to albums like Filth as being cheated out of 50 cents at a haunted house. Thus, I'm not particularly digging it.
