Well yeah, some tracks are crap, but Mine Is No Disgrace with Foetus on 
vocals is simply pure excellency so i guess that's why i spin that one 
most often.

That four track thing they did isn't bad as such, but they are surely 
losing their grasp on what they once had.

I dunno, to me they sound like putting a couple of bass guitars in front 
of a couple of Marshall stacks for an hour and then calling it "music".

That's because James Plotkin is a fucking genius :) I love the stuff he 
did with KK Null (Zeni Geva are godlike) and his solo albums are damned 
amazing, especially A Strange Perplexing or whatever it's called.

Also, Namanax is pure utter brilliance, but that's a whole other story.
