i think i've listened to all of perfume geniuses records a few times, and they just don't get over that hump of abstraction for me. everything sounds 60% done. this is more of the same. but, i know i'm looking for something that the artist isn't really intending to produce; i'm seeking out abstract art, and he wants to make art pop. i want coil or queen, and he wants duran duran. or tom petty, even.

that said, i'm in solidarity with the subversiveness, even if i wish it was just a bit more, all around. i've written about this a few times recently - in-your-face gay male sexuality is still shocking, even when everything else considered "queer" has been sanitized and normalized. 

so, i'm not listing the record on it's merits, but i'm acknowledging it exists. 'cause you might have less strenuous requirements than i do. and, maybe the subversiveness has value on it's own.
