Perverted by Language

Not the most pleasant experience for me to listen to this album, but there are some positive moments that can be taken away after my first listen. I favorite song was definitely Tempo House. And there are quite a few silly quotable lines here like “A Jew on a Motorbike” and “it was an unreasonable offer”. At some moments I am a fan of the engineering on this album too.

That’s unfortunately where the pleasantries probably end for me. The engineering goes wasted on poor use of the instruments at times in my opinion. And just a sheer lack of actual singing. Seems to be more of either talking or shouting at any given point.

I found myself longing to be listening to Oasis as I listened to this album. As this felt like a version of 00s alternative that had not yet been fully fleshed out or polished.

But that lack of polish is probably what draws listeners to this music. That is probably the POINT. And I recognize that and admit that I am yet to be enlightened to the enjoyment of such music.
