This
album has a lot of variety on it. No two songs sound alike. The first
song "Night Of Nights" is slow, cold, dreary and dark created mainly
with acoustic guitar and bass. The vocals sound almost sad and sing
rather straight forward. Song two "Shit Tainted Shades" livens things
up with energy and a completely different sound. Drum beats are the
most dominant instrument here while acoustic guitars can be heard strumming
in the background. High pitched distorted vocals that seem to talk more
than sing are placed into the fairly frantic paced music. Song three
"Pissboy" has kind of a retro rock sound to it with guitars, piano and
drum beats. The music plays at different speeds and the singing follows
right along with it. Song four "Because You Wanted It" takes a more
serious approach. It's dark with a medium pace to it. It's constructed
with guitar, bass, drums, bells and various other sounds that give it
a melodic and moody feel. It's a rather beautiful song with a catchy
chorus. Song five "Filth Dealer" begins with feeback noise, guitar string
experimentation, bass and drums. The vocals are slightly distorted.
The song picks up and rocks during its course and then slows down again
while female vocals join in to give it even more of an edge. Song six
"Mama" is the weirdest track to be found here. It begins with guitar
string strumming, bass, symbols and snare drums while a distorted voice
mumbles words over it all. There is a rather haunting feel to this track.
Song seven "Porno Paradiso" has a romantic spanish feel to it with acoustic
guitar, bass, organ and soft sung melodic vocals. It plays at a very
slow and mellow pace. It has a very soothing feel to it. It's an enjoyable
listen. Song eight "Situation Desperate" picks things up once again
with energy. It plays at a fairly fast pace with heavy guitar, bass,
drums, bells and frantic singing. This is one of the more rocking songs
to be found here. It gets really wild toward the end. Song nine "Perfect
Piece Of Trash" keeps the same fast and furious pace. It's a noisy track
with instruments and singing going all over the place in a wild style.
Song ten "Vague" brings things to a crawl again with bass guitar, snare
drums and piano making up the music while sad and depressed vocals sing
slowly over it. Song eleven "If I Die I Die" is medium paced with acoustic
guitar, heavy drum beats and standard singing. Song twelve "'Til The
End Of The World" ends the album. It's slow paced, beautiful and soothing
with acoustic guitar, bass, organ and bells. The singing is very melodic
and relaxing. This is a great song to end this rather unique album with.
If you're looking for something different in the goth realm, this would
be a good choice.
