This review is from: Deloused in the Comatorium (Audio CD)

The album wasn't something I got into immediately. In fact, the first time I heard what I now find to be the best song on the album, I hated it. It's the kind of album that you've got to listen to several times before you actually like it enough to by it (which means you should probably borrow it first). Don't feel too bad if you never grow into them, though, because it seems they aren't one of those bands that are "just okay".

The lyrics are oddly enticing. They hint at the band's insights, perhaps beginning to divulge some sort of message, but then keep things private, not defining anything for sure. Between the songs there is no noticeable pause, adding to the flow of the album, which is especially amazing. The songs by themselves are incredible enough, but the album as a whole is miraculous in the way it ties into itself and just runs through, sometimes making it hard to tell when one song ends and another begins, but never sounding like a previous song.

These guys blow my mind like no one has since Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, King Crimson, Blue Oyster Cult, Rush, Rage Against the Machine, Jane's Addiction, Living Colour, Frank Zappa, Santana, Return to Forever, Jaco Pastorius, Weather Report, etc. Wow. Makes most of what's out there seem stunted and impish. Nuf said.
