I saw S.o.D. live a few nights ago. The live show was pretty weak- Duncan is gone and Lee just doesn't spew the filth and psychotic patter Duncan used to. (I've never seen them before, but I've heard the "Two For The Show" live album.)

But the new tracks sound pretty good, particularly "Machine Sex". Everyone I was with was underwhelmed, but agreed they would probably pick up this album in the future.

I thought it was actually really catchy. Really good drum and bass lines. life on the rocks is amazing.

I thought they would have progressed in the last 10 years, but no. Nothing intersting or new here. One decent track, "Streetwalker", but they've done it better already. They really need some new sound, or producer or something....drugs perhaps.

I love it. I have just listened to it 3 times in a row. (I seldom do that, almost never...)
For my money, there's no one scoring filthier beats these days than Lee Frasier, and he's at the top of his game on F**K.
duncan's off tattooing, but Lee does a fine, perhaps more subdued job on vocals. yeah, not quite as biting as duncan was, but it still has that manacing SOD creepervert vibe working... the voices are nearly identical. if I didn't _know_ duncan was out, I'd just think he was smackin a bit harder... same SOD. I mean, it's not like duncan set the bar real high with his deal - it's all in the attitude, and that's still here, including the slutty 'bitch' vox backups. The musical humor is still totally intact... it always was Lee.

Lee's beats are just so frekin satisfying - infinitely dense, twisted sounds you've never heard - breaks that make you LOL they're so sweet - and the low as5 slidin low bass runs with the insistent disco panning slicey hihats. Lee is a master of beat science. He knows how to paint & layer the spectrum of sound perfectly and tickle the brain better than anyone(overtly and subliminally).
I was actually not expecting to like this release, as I'd been on the SOD newsgroup and it just seemed like lee was pis5ing things away... the last bagman was lame... but F**K has got me back to lovin SOD.
it's hard to find anything this unique nowadays. 'Petit Mal' is an acoustic ballad like no one has ever done; insane. when the beat locks in in 'pleasure and pain' it is so compelling you just cannot not move, and it holds you there. 'drink too much' 'smoke too much' - classic SOD deep space interludes (make me LOL). even speed metal type shredding on 'f**k this'. the other tracks are in the classic SOD dance trippy sex and drugs mode, but the beats are better. Lee occassionally borrows the old SOD lyric... but that just provides a thread to the old SOD. in other words, we're still here, and as nasty and filty and f**ked up as ever.

I love it.
