Eh, it was alright. Reminded me a little of Neurosis, but didn't quite touch the heights that Eye Of the Storm and Through Silver In Blood do for me. Builds up nicely, but personally I found what it builds into to be a wee bit of a let down. Still decent all-round though. Have a 6.

^ I would give it a 7/10. Beautiful track with very soothing vocals but I felt like the type of song it was supposed to be was complimented by the vocals. They could have been a lot rougher.

^It's interesting that you've chosen that song from Pussy Whipped. It's a totally unexpected closer to an intense album. I must admit I like Bikini Kill the best when they're dirty and in your face, but this is still a nice song that I rarely hear on their own and outside of the album. 7/10.

I'm gonna carry on with socially aware punk with Hit Parade, synth-punk band from the Crass records, 1982, song: "Here's what you find in any prison"

I really wasn't feeling this song too much. It was pretty catchy, but overall didn't do much for me on the whole. Synth-punk is not really my thing though.6/10

As for your comments about Bikini Kill, I'm actually the opposite. I don't like them much as a band, or don't care too much for those more in-your-face songs like you mentioned, but I absolutely love that song.

7.5/10

Score: 5/10

(Don't mind the video :o)

Basically anything by Bowie is good but this definitely isn't one of my favourites. I wasn't the biggest fan of Earthling.

^Excellent song from an excellent album. Love the repetitive theme, floating keyboard sounds, everything 10/10

Silver Jews - "Trains Across the Sea" from Starlite Walker, here fits very nicely with Spirited Away
