    Steve Albini must be proud of this band. Primitive, raw, scuzzy, this record is a true classic.

  1. It's not too hard to hear amid the swamp bass and prickly guitars, that this group seriously brings the funk.
  2. Smacks of pure aggression, the kind which made household names out of such groundbreaking labels as SST and Amphetamine Reptile.
  3. Black Forest is a little less scuzzy and raw than the band's earlier work, but it passes the test: the later at night and the louder you play it, the better it sounds.
