Male Supremacy
I’m not sure if this is sophomoric and brilliant or sophomoric and terrible. I mean, the title track is sort of everything that this album is about, no? The “Carnivore” isn’t in reference to consuming meat. It’s an aggressive paean to cunnilingus. But it’s also terrifying. It’s not similar in style to but wholly the cousin of NiN’s “Closer”.
In the dark recesses of fetishdom, in the corners of BDSM is a style of domination/submission based on the Gor series of books by John Norman. Looking at these guys on the back cover I’m sure they have inspired or soundtracked many an Andrew cross session in that world.
All that said, it’s really accomplished and the vocal left turn on “Male Supremacy” was kind of a shock.
It all gets kind of repetitive but that doesn’t make it not good.
