It's overhyped.

 

[coelophysis]

It's overhyped.

They always are. I've learned to ignore them.

 

[MrGrunge]

It's overhyped.

Still a good record. I enjoyed it much more than anything from 90s Swans.

Grimes

You're right. He doesn't recommend, he goes straight for the un-consented forceful ramming up the alley.

 

[MrGrunge]

My alley has never been the same.
