Bit shouty.

It is over.

It was an album that made little attempt to make an impact.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I think he must've'd stubbed his toe on a mic stand at the end there.

I shall give it 2 stars.

That last track sounded like the sort of thing I used to record on the tape recorder we had when I was a child.

Now to create a poll.

That was all rather.... quirky, a bit interesting at times and like two different albums. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either.

2.5/5 - rounded down to 2/5 for voting.

I thought that that was marvy.

More than a bit inconsistent throughout, but replete with unexpectedenesses and brimming with unusualnesses.

Was it ahead of its time, of its time or way way behind the times.

A fascinating curio* nonetheless.

*tautology alert?

Full marks from me cos unexpectedly interesting and properly worthy of future obscure band name-dropping potential.

Some other twerp who thinks they're cool: 'Yeah, I've been into Suicide since, like, before they did a record'...

Me: 'Yeah, but like, have you heard of [slightly awkward pause as I try to remember exactly what they were called] er... yes, The Parasites Of The Western World by The Parasites Of The Western World?'

Other person crumples in defeat as hot hipster chicks look on admiringly and I casually say 'yeah, Brackie'.

smug

S'meh. generic 70s """"''"""experimental""""''""" album. Slightly unusual in having early and late 70s """"''"""experimental""""''""" songs on one album.
