Rating this album seems a futile attempt to pigeonhole a bastion of creative ideas and somehow discredit a common and compatible panache built up among 2 giants of their musical genres. These 2 artist weld so much power in their endeavors they actually influence cultural, social, and creative elements that surround them. This experiment to delve deep and broaden the shores of what is possible should garnish praise. We should let this music float and sink into what, where, and what it will. It's not ground breaking, but far from normal and average fodder. These are bright and gifted people. They are confident in their
roles and should unleash holy celestial metal hosannas and let the world ponder, listen, and unravel their confined banshee emotions.

I love Justin's work, but Jarboe generally just grates on me. Have to admit I'm not familiar with Swans, and am only aware of her through Neurosis collaboration, and various other bits and pieces. This might be a grower, but right now I really have to soldier through her vocals to appreciate the rest of the album. Considering deleting the first track entirely, and I think the vocals completely ruin Tribal Limo.
