Yeah, I mean not awful industrial, so I think it could make an argument to get there, but I still don't have to like it.

An alternative take on the industrial genre. Does it make it more listenable? Yes. Does it make me enjoy it more though? Not really

I think NIN would have listened to this a lot. I however did not make it to the end. Too much undefined stremming.

With an album title like this, my expectations already drop significantly. Whomever thought they were being funny and clever when they came up with this deserves a spanking. Musically, there's also not much to like here. Annoying.

6/10. Better than the title lead me to expect, but not exactly my thing either.

When you want something in between Tom Waits and Nine Inch Nails.

I look into my crystal ball and this is gonna be weird. Hardcore? Butthole Surfers type stuff? Ok, no idea how to describe this. Like if Nick Cave was jokey rather than flat out depressing? It's like the gothy end of new wave mixed with beat poetry and industrial noises? Closest I've heard to it is the second Ministry album, but that is also a much more serious affair. Ridiculous, but preferable to more folk. 3/5.

I’m not quite sure what this was but it was a little silly and I like that

Not bad. Sort of a silly Nine Inch Nails. Better than their awful band name would indicate! I kind of truly dug it by the end.

Hard rock very close to something like trash, the interpretation dances more between noise than music

I kind of expected to hate this but found it to be very good and interesting. Misses a top rating for me because I just really couldn't get into the vocals.

My ears met Thirlwell in more literally cinematic environs. Scraping the 90s, this record demonstrates craft and remains a particularly accessible instance of dark cabaret aesthetics. Implied are the traditional industrial obsessions and a wide embrace of the musical non-traditional. Stylish and an odd companion, lacks the raw impact of certain contemporaries.
