This album has a lot of variety on it. No two songs sound
alike. The first song "Night Of Nights" is slow, cold, dreary
and dark created mainly with acoustic guitar and bass. The
vocals sound almost sad and sing rather straight forward. Song
two "Shit Tainted Shades" livens things up with energy and a
completely different sound. Drum beats are the most dominant
instrument here while acoustic guitars can be heard strumming
in the background. High pitched distorted vocals that seem to
talk more than sing are placed into the fairly frantic paced
music. Song three "Pissboy" has kind of a retro rock sound to
it with guitars, piano and drum beats. The music plays at
different speeds and the singing follows right along with it.
Song four "Because You Wanted It" takes a more serious
approach. It's dark with a medium pace to it. It's constructed
with guitar, bass, drums, bells and various other sounds that
give it a melodic and moody feel. It's a rather beautiful song
with a catchy chorus. Song five "Filth Dealer" begins with
feeback noise, guitar string experimentation, bass and drums.
The vocals are slightly distorted. The song picks up and rocks
during its course and then slows down again while female
vocals join in to give it even more of an edge. Song six
"Mama" is the weirdest track to be found here. It begins with
guitar string strumming, bass, symbols and snare drums while a
distorted voice mumbles words over it all. There is a rather
haunting feel to this track. Song seven "Porno Paradiso" has a
romantic spanish feel to it with acoustic guitar, bass, organ
and soft sung melodic vocals. It plays at a very slow and
mellow pace. It has a very soothing feel to it. It's an
enjoyable listen. Song eight "Situation Desperate" picks
things up once again with energy. It plays at a fairly fast
pace with heavy guitar, bass, drums, bells and frantic
singing. This is one of the more rocking songs to be found
here. It gets really wild toward the end. Song nine "Perfect
Piece Of Trash" keeps the same fast and furious pace. It's a
noisy track with instruments and singing going all over the
place in a wild style. Song ten "Vague" brings things to a
crawl again with bass guitar, snare drums and piano making up
the music while sad and depressed vocals sing slowly over it.
Song eleven "If I Die I Die" is medium paced with acoustic
guitar, heavy drum beats and standard singing. Song twelve
"'Til The End Of The World" ends the album. It's slow paced,
beautiful and soothing with acoustic guitar, bass, organ and
bells. The singing is very melodic and relaxing. This is a
great song to end this rather unique album with. If you're
looking for something different in the goth realm, this would
be a good choice.
Note: This LP comes with a bonus seven-inch containing the
last two tracks in this release.
