The first couple of tracks are very erratic and aggressive almost, however, the best material is towards the end when the record mellows out quite significantly.

Didn't leave too much of an impression on me first time I heard it, will need to re-listen.

I wish MFSL would remaster their entire catalog, it's a brickwalled mess.

I agree, sooo much limiting sometimes that there's no dynamic. I don't know if you've heard Cryptomnesia but that is the worst in that way.

My fav tracks I think are Empty Vessels, Vamaladay, In Absentia, Molochwalker at this point

I admit I was a bit disappointed....but as a Fan....I know they can amaze you....I will continue to play this ...off and on....and won't be surprised if it sneaks up on me......

Not Deloused quality for sure, not even Frances the Mute, but it's a much stronger release then the rest.

Empty Vessels Make The Loudest Sound is absolutely amazing.

I'm gonna have to give it another listen cause it really didn't make a big impression on me the first time.

weird enough for me

It's great to see them constantly evolving. lets be honest, if they tried to do Deloused again we'd all just complain that they're trying to rehash past success
