    Melody and harmony are almost completely absent. Some of the lyrics are embarrassing ("Kentucky fried genocide" deserves to be repeated?).

    On Naked Self, Johnson hasn't let up one bit. His tongue is as sharp as ever, and his songs show that updating one's style doesn't have to mean dressing in this year's airwave fashions.
  2. NakedSelf feels more like a transition than a treatise, like a little bit less when more is actually called for.
  3. NakedSelf finds him returning to the slow-burn industrial grind of his best work.
