Place my hands gently

Over your ears

To save you the sound

Of my scream

how the hell do you pronounce their name? any band with 'cock' in their name makes me wary of saying it that way lol.
Like Assuck... how do you pronounce that? ass-uck?

I heard them on some British TV show and the host called them "ack-er-COCK-uh", but that's kind of Briticized. And also I have no idea if he can be trusted.



Cleans aren't great in the abstract but he makes them work, better on this album I think than ever before.

The cleans have proven really divisive amongst everyone who's listened to Renaissance in Extremis. For me personally, I appreciate the raw, bitter and honest "feel" those vocals give off. I recently listened to this album a couple more times on the way back home from work (usually at night) and the experience felt brilliant. Like one of the earlier comments stated, this is a real grower.

Yeah I like them. But I recognize that Mendonça is no great singer - he just knows how to do what he does and what to do with it. And that's no small feat.

Such a great album, probably my AOTY for 2017 at the moment. Several still to listen which interest me though, but this one is really amazing.

Just got the 2LP Red vinyl gatefold of this last night. Damn this record is so good! These guys have created a totally different and completely new style of music. Songwriting A+, Performances A+, Total Package A++.

Yeah, I kinda like that they're not all that easy to classify. Doing their own thing and sounding great.
