"It's a full-scale assault on all six senses.Yes, you
read it right. This sort of thing penetrates your
psyche, too. And you don't see N'Suck doing that
for you, now, do you?! And is, amazingly,
startlingly poetic.
The first song, "Rude Moon," does nothing more than assault you and your sub-woofers with full- scale bawling out of the lyrics. So what? Skip to "Mother Queen" for the sonic poetry: "Please give me a glance at your daughter/Just a moment and a single faint word."
Wherefore art thou, Arthur? Dost thou knowst how
bittersweet thine lyrics be, enough to wheedle a
sexual favor out of a throng of disillusioned girls or
three? "
I need some crack, a battery acid sandwich and
another listen. The next day I will travel to
Holland and see The Scars. I suggest you do the
same.

The Indie Chronicles.
Somewhere in Holland, a red Squire guitar, a
delay pedal, a couch pillow and a high hat were
stolen. The children whisper of a man resembling
Bob Dylan living in "that" house. Somewhere
Arthur has returned to his closet - waiting for a
beating that already may have arrived.
