StillCloserNov 12, 2007It seems that Matt Johnson was a little bit tired of commercial songs and fall back to his roots. The album is a little hard to grab at a first hearing. Like almost all Matt's albums, it grows up everytime we heard it. It seems the perfect soundtrack for George Orwell's 1984.

ScottM.Dec 11, 2007Melody and harmony are almost completely absent. Some of the lyrics are embarrassing ("Kentucky fried genocide" deserves to be repeated?).

NakedSelf feels more like a transition than a treatise, like a little bit less when more is actually called for.

NakedSelf finds him returning to the slow-burn industrial grind of his best work.
