I love that album but man, those four tracks are all near perfect for what they are there to do. Brilliant opener - setting the tone for the album. Kicks into "ZZZ Top" to liven things up. Deep bass of "Cycles" and then the best track of the year.

You're a big fan of Zero Dark Thirty too eh?

My favourite track he has done.

Oh wow I just recked and it turns out I gave this album 9/10. It's more of an 8/10 for me now, but alas. I guess I wasn't very picky back when I rated this.

Still, a great album. Favourite track on it is Leisureforce, although all of the first four tracks could be my favourite.

Wow really? Better than ANYTHING on Labor Days?

For me yeah. Both near perfect albums.

True. Gotta say, on a lyrical and emotional level, I think "Gopher Guts" is the highlight of Skelethon. Aes puts it all out there on that track.

The hook on "ZZZ Top" just doesn't work for me. The beat and the post-chrous female vocals are fantastic, as well as his rapping, but the hook ruins it a little. As said before, it's still a great album, though.

I had a dream that I listened to this album and quite enjoyed it.
That has inspired me to give it another listen later today, it also reinforces just how mundane my life has become that even my dreams are me doing everyday things.
I dreamed the other day about frying some eggs then eating them.

Eggs are so boring. Especially fried eggs.
