electronic gothic are two nebulous words smushed together that could mean practically anything
darkwave is genre that typically contains both those qualities and puts them in the context of a distinctive scene/lineage

ooh The Liminal/Eyes Like Nightshade is a tight middle combo
hear the latter's shared roots in EDM hardcore with Fossora (with a few industrial overtones), but damn she rides that beat so much tighter than any of Bjork's current-era mismatched jank
a lot of this is making wonder what would happen if she went full Skinny Puppy on whatever she does next. easily her most consistent since PiB so far

not enough popular artists have ripped off Skinny Puppy this decade, CW should defs get some skin in that game

Dude I literally said it when Dusk came out. That track gave me new-nin vibes.
I wouldn’t say that’s there across the whole thing, but I definitely think the last twenty or so years of NIN totally influenced some of this.

probably why I will likely struggle with some of this, as that side of industrial doesn't appeal to me

I actually don't even like NIN. Yet.

NIN themselves don't appeal to me because Reznor's whole schtick is (was) its own level of insufferable immature hell, but elements of that production style (which I hear from the mid-late 90s era too, esp in the opener's outro and throughout House Of Self-Undoing + Everything Turns Blue) can be hella tight
Skinny Puppy are grittier/beefier/murkier + have a (q underappreciated) smarter ear for synth hooks, which I'd loooove to hear her step into as long as it doesn't translate into style-over-substance mess like Carrion Flowers
this is a really good record though. didn't love Dusk as a closer at all, but it's got highlights across the board and will probably land as my second fav from her

NIN are obvious trash and I wouldn't judge an entire genre on the basis of Renzor's schtick. Skinny Puppy are okay, struggled to get fully into them tbh. Maybe worth a revisit. Coil have that one song (they have MANY good songs, just talking about the rock-orientated side of industrial).
admittedly 'Einstürzende Neubauten's - Yü-Gung (Fütter mein Ego)' (copy / paste!) is an absolute banger of a song, altho much of the album '1/2 Mencsch' is a more abstract / noise based affair, so I guess that's the closest ref point of enjoyment I have rn

You didn't like Dusk, or the fact that it was the closer Johnny?

Album Rating: 3.7
could take or leave it as a song, but specifically don't like it as a closer
especially especially since Place in the Sun is perfect final chapter material. Dusk I think suffers from feeling the most interchangeable of all these tracks with any given era of her work (though it especially recalls PiB). I know I've talked a lot about how she peaked on that album, but I'm not huge on this ending on its most indistinct track
