yeah... what i think is so swell about it is the fact that it is so chaotic... it seems like the song titles are almost random... like someone put a bunch of pieces of songs in a box, shook it up and randomly pasted them back together again and then repeated this process many times, but still wound up with something totally perfect and beautiful... i dunno... i just like that album a whole lot... much more than i like armed audio warfare, which seems more "focused" in the traditional sense of the word... it's the only meat beat record that i haven't at any point been bored by [although i like their other stuff a whole lot too, generally..]
