Still sick. Sour black blonde. Double stitch my moving parts so nothing gets out. Your empty eyes wide with surprise. No longer frenzied or nervous. Your empty eyes wide with surprise. No longer frenzied or nervous. There are things that I would do to you if I was not so tired. I'm tired.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
