Part of JGT's ongoing Picasso-Matisse style battle with Nick Cave, you see, the mercy seat was more commercial, more accessible, so JGT says to himself, " I can do that".
Hence, we have 'Thaw', which goes in my "best album of career" drawer, not one bad song or wasted moment to be found, and I've tried looking everywhere.
Great to play at office parties, Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Also a great repellant for the "I love trent reznor and ministry, look at my wounds, they are beautiful" type scum that have claimed our music.
Buy it or don't, I dont care. p.s. this is one release where the CD version sounds as good as the vinyl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Foetus at his best, October 18, 2001

By A Customer

Nail is usually hailed as Jim Foetus Thirlwell's masterpiece, but Thaw is even better imho. On Nail ugly drum machines sometimes dissipate the tension. Thaw is more organic and more manic. Nail is calculated. Thaw is a magnificantly horrible accident.

this is my favorite of thirlwell's works. it is pure, unadulterated, evil, white-trash rage. it is the dark side of the human soul laid bare, and the music in a style that sounds like demented show-tunes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.......but not for the faint of heart. Its also incredibly politcally incorrect, so be warned.
