Highlights: 
Why Hide


Why would anyone put this record on?
Why would anyone buy this record? 

I mean, I applaud any and all artists for making their art. Dadaists, Mapplethorpe, Pollock, etc.  And I wrote a lot of words in a screed against this album and then I just let it wash over me and, yes, I suffocated my dog while I was listening to “Clay Man” but, I mean, who wouldn’t? 
And I HAD to let the album play through cuz I was busy cleaning up the blood off the floor and the bread knife I used to saw my arm off…

All that said, for an industrial album that would probably help you get through the process of slaughtering animals, it’s exactly that.
