While on the sludgy tip, let's give a nod to the masters. The monotony of Gluey Porch Treatments' endless sludge, The brevity and dynamics toyed with on OZMA and the synthesis of those qualities that resulted in the perfection that was Bullhead. Where does a band go when, in the minds of fans, they've made a perfect record? well, the answer turned out to be going where no one expected. Starting off your eagerly anticipated follow up with a nearly 20-minute two-song suite centered around two very slow and basic riffs, following that with a Flipper cover, two Alice Cooper covers and then an oddly haunting song to end things on a weird note... not exactly Who's Next.
