THE ICHTHYOLOGIST

Indeed, vocals are quite strange. They really reminds me Peter Hammill from Godbluff album, also trying to do his best and has unique voice. And it works, somehow. In fact, I'm still confused and don't know what to think, if it's good, or bad. Which is probably good. Music itself is dissonant, intentionally (not by accident), but as it is, works great his singing. I have to say that when I first heard this, I was shocked and annoyed by many things here. But after few listening, I have to say that it's worthy to give it a chance. As with some other albums, first song can repel you with its aggressiveness. But album itself is ranging from calm (Sutterville, Mormon) songs to death metal soaked ones.

4(-), this record is like haunting pleasure. I like it, just as I would enjoy dangerous-to-life situation.
