    Lingua Ignota is not from the here and now. She is a doom opera goddess sent to us from another dimension. Has anyone checked if she is real? Ps. This album is incredible.

    Eerie, sinister and frightening. A petrifying piece of work. So raw and unique it cannot be categorized. Hayter opens the wounds and let them bleed until the sense of desperation exceeds the bearable limits.

    This is a painfully stunning album. Devastatingly brilliant and deeply spiritual in a very dark way. A must have album.

    I had a mixture of feelings almost never experienced before, it was devastating, resulting in something exquisite. The lyrical composition is haunting, profound, and truly new. I really don't have words to describe the production and Kristin's voice; the context of the album is hard to digest at certain points; all this makes it a perfect album.

    Lingua Ignota demonstrates her incredibly artistic flexibility by exploring motifs often absent from her debut noise genre. There is something signature and undeniably Lingy about all albums from ABD, Caligula, and Sinner Get Ready.

    tarnishing from front to back. the production, narrative and acting sell me so much to the point where every time i relisten theres something new to love about it!!! kristen deserves tons of respect not only for this albums evergrowing success but for what it took to get her here. we appreciate you so much!

    This album is beautiful, terrifying, and unlike anything I have heard. One of the most powerful projects of all time.

    AS SOON AS I HEARD THE FIRST NOTES OF "THE ORDER OF SPIRITUAL VIRGINS" I KNEW THAT THIS ALBUM IS GOING TO BECOME MY FAVORITE ALBUM THIS YEAR (until queen miss lana del rey releases blue banisters) YOU KNOW, WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED I STARTED TO FEEL LIKE I WAS LOCKED IN A JAIL, AS GRACE JONES ONCE SAID "I JUST DIDN'T FEEL A SOUL" I WAS FEELING LIKE THIS FOR THE PAST 39 YEARS OF MY LIFE, BUTAS SOON AS I HEARD THE FIRST NOTES OF "THE ORDER OF SPIRITUAL VIRGINS" I KNEW THAT THIS ALBUM IS GOING TO BECOME MY FAVORITE ALBUM THIS YEAR (until queen miss lana del rey releases blue banisters) YOU KNOW, WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED I STARTED TO FEEL LIKE I WAS LOCKED IN A JAIL, AS GRACE JONES ONCE SAID "I JUST DIDN'T FEEL A SOUL" I WAS FEELING LIKE THIS FOR THE PAST 39 YEARS OF MY LIFE, BUT THE DAY THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED I FELT LIKE SOMETHING CLICKED AND I'VE FINALLY BREATHED OUT AND PASSED OUT TO ANOTHER SPACE AND TIME.

    EDIT #2: Context matters.
    EDIT: I might do a full review of this someday but it's too hard to put into words what this album means to me as someone who has had most of his life dictated by what other people thought I should believe in. I've dedicated a large part of my adolescence for attempting to forget some of the worst events of my childhood, most of which had to do with religion in

    EDIT: I might do a full review of this someday but it's too hard to put into words what this album means to me as someone who has had most of his life dictated by what other people thought I should believe in. I've dedicated a large part of my adolescence for attempting to forget some of the worst events of my childhood, most of which had to do with religion in some part. So I apologize, but this review's gonna be on the backburner for a long while most likely.

    I think I appreciate this album so much because of how religion has ruined a large part of my childhood.

    This album is like a session of mass desensitization to the injustices of God and one woman’s constant unbreakable faith breaking her as a human.

    BEST TRACKS: The Order of Spiritual Virgins, I WHO BEND THE TALL GRASSES, Many Hands, Repent Now Confess Now, Perpetual Flame of Centralia, Man is Like a Spring Flower, The Solitary Brethren of Ephrata

    Polyphonic chants mesh with distorted piano hits and percussive clatter in an ecstasy of derision and judgment, before turning into a righteous roar. [Oct 2021, p.58]

    With Hayter’s intentions fully understood, Sinner Get Ready not only gains more gravity acting on the guillotine blade as it comes down, but the head that it intends to decapitate has a face that we all can now recognize.

    Hayter’s voice admirably performs that complexity on Sinner Get Ready; it’s a beautiful instrument that will fill you with terrible woe, and then terrible wonder.
