Negative Positive
Title: queasy listening?
Review: a piledriver of a record that has not lost very much power (or vitriol) 15 years after its release.the frenzied "thieves." the sweltering and ominous "cannibal song." al's guttural roars on "breathe." chris connelly's barely restrained disenfranchised-youth pronouncements on "so what." two legitimately creepy outro songs. this is as important a recording to the genre now as it was then.naturally, there are many bands today in many genres who play faster, louder, and heavier, but all of them owe no small debt to al, paul and company.about the only negative on here is the rather clumsy "test"--which, despite its life-affirming lyrics, seems a half-baked attempt at rap-thrash. but heck, if that's the only complaint i have, what else is there to say?for best results, explore this one in tandem with "the land of rape and honey."
Is the review positive or negative?
