A rather slight album, if you consider it an album and not a single 35 minute track - but for the single track it is, it's quite catchy, albeit rather repetitive because of it.

The title track (which is a rather amusing title too) uses one underlying rhythm to drive the whole album, then adds various elements to the piece as it progresses. I hear piano, melodic elements and some feedback experimentation weave in and out. The lyrics, though somewhat sparse, are actually a highlight point for me. Despite being firmly in black metal territory, I had no issue discerning the words at all, as they seemed to tread the line between singing and spoken word.

While at its core, pretty aesthetically simple, it's still not a bad album in itself, just gives the feeling of being overly slight for a full length release. At 35 minutes, the length doesn't feel overlong at least. As an album/song, you could do a lot worse though.
