So I had never heard of this band or album before - so I really didn't what to expect - but I really enjoyed it more than I thought I would... Liked the music, liked the vocals, enjoyed the lyrics for the most part, and liked how they worked in the little pre-recorded spoken word effects throughout (i.e. just the right amount, as most artists go way too far with that stuff)… Found several tracks on the album that I thought were extremely well-done IMO – “If White America…” – 4 out of 7-stars… “She Is Suffering” – 4 out of 7-stars… “Archives Of Pain” – 5 out of 7-stars… “Die In The Summertime” – 4 out of 7-stars… “The Intense Humming Of Evil” – 5 out of 7-stars… That’s way more goodness than I was expecting – and most of the other tracks are solid as well… Also appreciated the diversity of sound throughout the album – just really good balance start-to-finish, and a fairly original sound from this band – all score points with me… Read a bit of their bio on Wikipedia, and the details of the disappearance of Richey Edwards – the bands lyricist and rhythm guitarist, was absolutely fascinating, though incredibly sad… Reminded me of demise of Ian Curtis from Joy Division on the eve of their initial North American Tour… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richey_Edwards#Disappearance_and_presumed_death Probably would give this a 3.50 if I could, but just can’t get it to a 4 – so a really well-done 3 it is…
