I'm sure you just heard Nightmare...I'm just waiting for you to add it to your list.
And after listening to the album, I feel that it's good, but not as good as I expected. Tracks 1 through 7 are brilliant, but 8 through 15 kind of drop off and just aren't as strong, with the exception of Window...which is powerful, but it is overly long. Fish seems disjointed, Analog isn't memorable and Taco and Jasper Dolphin are annoying on B itch Suck D ick and the song doesn't actually fit into the overall story until the very end. There's an instrumental between Window and Golden that doesn't add anything to the album. The final track though, Golden, makes up a little bit for the lackluster second half because it is incredibly powerful, angry, and finally absolutely self-referential, like the album is supposed to be. Overall though I have to say due to the weak middle it is not as good as Bastard, I'll have to give it more listens before I decide if I'm actually really disappointed or not. There are brilliant tracks on here too, like Goblin, Yonkers, Nightmare and Transylvania, but I just don't love it like I expected I would.
