Album Rating: 3.5
Less melodic and more on the Mr. Bungle side of structure and pacing but the avant garde twist is so similar between both bands. Heavy use of strings, similar sounding bass, experimental, female and make vocalists who use that avant garde vocal style. In a Flesh Aquarium is particularly similar and it makes me think that album was most inspired by SGM.
Album does go hard and is a surprising showing for this genre. It leans a little much on repetition where I don't think it's necessary but it's a strong 3.5/4 and does things thematically I haven't heard before.
