The Body have so accustomed us to evolve from one output to another that this return to less expansive sounds may seem, at first glance, a little disappointing. As an enormous fan of their past two releases, I would have wanted an album that would have drawn from the choirs and strings elements to expand the band's soundscape into apocalyptic proportions. But it is my problem if I let my own expectations exceed the actual result. Buford and King wanted to create the noisiest album their deranged minds could come up with? Bravo, they did it. Notwithstanding any personal appreciations, this album will remain completely unique in their discography. I've Seen All I Need To See manages to sufficiently differentiate itself to remain, at least until their next output, The Body's record that sinks deepest into the most distorted zones of their sound spectrum. Everything we could have hoped for, we got: a new album distinct from the others, driven by its own visceral, disgusting energy.

Given this band's discography, it's impressive to say this is the most fucked up thing they've ever made. Absolutely claustrophobic, never ending low-end distortion with drums that are so blown out they just become part of that low-end distortion. They talk about this being a "return to form" for them going back to just guitar, vocals, and drums, but this is the closest they've come to just making pure noise music and it's absolutely terrifying. There are multiple parts on here that genuinely hurt.

Is this The Body at their droniest? It sure is the album that The Body haters can unite in saying where the unpleasant vocals have been replaced by a different unpleasant sound. Nice foray into drone, even if I fail to see what exactly do The Body bring to either the genre or their catalogue with this.

Not an easy listen. Very gritty, abrasive and distorted. Extremely distorted even. The vocals are the same as usual (great and unique that is) but are a bit lower in the mix and also seem a bit like a sample, always the same. Songwriting is very creative and inspired despite the massive repetition. Electronic elements are tastefully used and are generally bringing melody and undertones that make the songs feel complete.

There was so much promise for this new record from the two-piece art metal act. Don?t get me wrong this is a heavy, brutal, and challenging listen but in the grand scheme of power electronics, drone metal, and noise music this is rather uninspired and even one-dimensional listen. Drone metal is never the most interesting genre but at least there is typically diversity among the tracks in a great drone metal album (Boris, Earth, Sun O))), etc.) and power electronics typically have a dense and intricate pallet of sounds. But this is a 35-minute slow burner that goes nowhere exactly at the very end. Big disappointment for me on what this band has done in the past and what this could have been.

This is the first The Body that really hits me. Maybe I should go back on their discog now.
