4.0 out of 5 stars More sociopolitical technoise
David Thrussell is best known for his work as Snog, but Black Lung tends to be more of an interesting forum for electronic music.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing
While I have a lot of respect for Thursell (Snog and Soma are both outstanding bands in totally different genres) I am unimpressed with black lung. The beats on this album in particular are... uninteresting. At best they are boring, at worst they are headache-inducing. And the nature of the music is such that there's not much to talk about *besides* the beats.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bomb!!!! Does that apply to industrial music????, August 20, 2003
This review is from: Disinformation Plague (Audio CD)
I'm Being serious this is a good album. It is REALLY expreimentla, but 100% industrial, so if you are looking for a band to increase your collection of industrial\electronic muisic this is it. Sounds kinda like Autchre yet not at all.... does that help?

The beats on this album in particular are... uninteresting. At best they are boring, at worst they are headache-inducing. And the nature of the music is such that there's not much to talk about *besides* the beats.

When the album dips into more ambient territory, the quality picks up, which earns it two stars.

In the end, I'd say don't gamble on this disc unless you know what you are getting into. Thursell's bands with Peiter Bourke are far better.
