i will second this... my first reaction to this disc was "woah!" very
different indeed. i heard mouse on mars was going to explore vocals with
their new material and was dreading what could have been potentially really
awful results, but this was a breath of fresh air. it not only is a fairly
interesting use of vocal samples, but it's so distorted and both dark and
fun at the same time that it's one of their most entertaining and heavy
recordings yet.
i am really interesting in the following full-length now....
