This is a masterpiece. Why? Because in addition to finding it amazing, I can only listen to it occasionally as it is simply too heavy emotionally. Just like Disintegration, Mezzanine, The Downward Spiral, Closer, etc.

I was planning on filling in all the gaps. Heard everything up until (and inc.) Mystics, with the exception of that 4 disc thing I originally had no way of hearing. By the time this came out I'd lost interest/moved onto other things. I did hear King's Mouth back when it released, which was okay.



I love the rhythms and bursts of noise on this, the flow is very stop-start/up-down/(whatever) but I kind of dig it.

If you've heard everything up to the mystics, that means you've already heard their best work :3

Embryonic and the Terror both > Mystics, but it's all downhill from there

I'd go Embryonic > Mystics > Terror



Terror is basically languishing in the bottom half of their discography, habitual and stale

One of their finest achievements for my money, these guys have an absolute spoonful of 3.8-4.2 material.
