so, it took me a few listens to realize this wasn't interesting, after all.

it's just that it initially comes at you as something experimental, and it takes a little bit of effort to realize it's more like an existentialist, post-modern evolution of motown than it is something legitimately new. it's quirky, i'll give it that, and if the idea of extrapolating coil's cover of tainted love to an actual, demented motown record intrigues you then you may be all over it, but it's coming at me more as a gimmick once i've worked it out.

if they were to make it a little more abstract, like a testosterone-stripped death grips, i'd probably really like it, though.
