some said sputnik would die would die with a bang; some knew all along that the end times would come in a feeble trickle of tectactoe rankings reposted with minimal alterations from two pages back

Lmao (1) you're not wrong but (2) any Sput-goings-on—including my own—are immediately wiped from memory the moment the page breaks.

Good to see that 'Real Love' has been gaining some traction, though, apparently.

lol v true, end of the day we're all living that life on the edge of a page

Album Rating: 4.0

Damn this shit rules

Sounds kind of like proto-Godflesh and tbh I wouldn't be surprised if Swans on the whole had a sizeable influence

Album Rating: 4.5

I think definitely



"Half Life" off of Cop is always the one that exemplifies that uh comparison to the Godflesh sound for me... as a whole I feel like this one, while still heavy, got a little less heavy from the earlier stuff so I never thought of it that way but now that you mention it

Album Rating: 4.5

no idea what the quality was or how much of an effect any remastering had on the sound but still regretting not getting my hands on a copy since the repress that dropped a few years back

Album Rating: 4.2

Jamming this so hard. Absolutely RIPS.

Album Rating: 4.5

Album Rating: 5.0

Beautiful Child sounds like a song Vlad The Impaler could've wrote as a janissary
