Some guys they kill for food,

Some guys they kill cause the whole world needs to pay for their childhood,



But these guys,

They kill you,

Cause I paid them to

Liquid Jesus is such an infectiously guilty pleasure and that irony is not lost on me



the opening run in particular is way more ‘good times enjoyable’ than it has any right to be. I’m not sure about Lipstick, but otherwise it’s a strong first half

Yeah this slaps. A few of the more synth-heavy tracks aren’t my faves and there’s a fairly clear hierarchy (top heavy-ish for sure), but otherwise great



So many great lines. Amusing delivery at times despite the dark subject matter

Agree about it being front heavy. Ottessa and Liquid Jesus are my easy favorites. Rough Sleepers is fucking amazing too tho

That track is killer too. I mean I love the whole thing but my two favorite tracks are back to back in the first half of the record

Lipstick With No Lips feels like a sleeper pick...I adore the tempo changes on that track that contrast the overall hazy, drunken feeling of it.

I would say a lot of this works in spite of the fact it kinda shouldn't because the vocals are absolutely top notch. The guy really sells it and I love the way he delivers some of these lines

I love the vocals even though sometimes he reminds me of Shaggy from ICP, especially during the first half of Mob Dad. This album is such a great trip from start to finish

For those who love this album you should definitely check out the new album by Mamaleek. It carries the same nonchalant violence and grim delivery with a little whimsy to back it all up. Enjoy

I still love a lot of the content here but am approaching it like a collection of singles where I just cherry pick, because I'll be damned if I'm getting through all of this very often. A rather unusual occurrence for me as a full album kinda guy. The debut is a better 'album' whereas this has stronger individual cuts. It's still top heavy, for me



...and I have Mamaleek lined-up but keep forgetting!

Just listened to the Mamaleek headphones while out camping this past weekend. It's a lot to unpack but that release is something special as well

FINALLY! I’m not even mad or anything, I’m just kinda stoked because I literally completely forgot I even ordered one

Bumped this to a 4 but they should have stripped three or four songs from the second half, gets too much of a good thing by the end.



Feel the closer would have more impact/power if the listener didn't have to wait so long.

Agreed. I'm also tempted to bump this on the strength of the stellar material, rather than proportionately caring about the unwieldy length / inconsistencies and knocking it slightly based on that

I am surprised to hear several people talk about the length of the record when it is only an hour of material. This doesn't seem unusual for an album in this style of music to me but I can see the complaint that its top heavy a bit. I gave this a spin again at work yesterday and on the way home and man there is some good stuff here

An hour of material is not always enough. It's a case-by-case basis with no absolutes. I feel like this one could do with a trim
