    Best album in years to be wholly fresh while brilliantly evoking the jagged noise rock of Sonic Youth, the shimmering gauziness of the Cocteau Twins-era 4AD and the snarl of Seattle's grunge heyday. Transporting, hypnotic and extremely impressive.

    In spite of its sequencing, every song on Cemetery Highrise Slum is individually good.

    Cemetery Highrise Slum is a worthy effort with a highly crafted vibe, but Creepoid's personality only shines through some of the time.
