Reviews
It's almost as if Stapleton heard and is retaliating against the recent chatter going around that "he's a no-talent hack who just steals other people's music and puts his name on it". This cd is 100% different from anything i've ever heard from Nurse. There's a creepy track with David Tibet spouting off and sounding only vaguely like one would expect from a NWW track with vocals by Tibet. Even weirder is the Primus-esque jam session that ensues. Keep listening for an interesting rendition of Oh Suzanna on crack. (Perhaps a certain musician has been herding too many sheep...) After only a few listens I've officially dubbed this my favourite NWW album, and I hope no one else waits as long as I did to go buy it. Be prepared for something entirely different.
