...guess it's you," but the lyrics are pretty much unintelligible. It is a very good album. Its volume and distortion and proto-industrial sound and depressing, violent lyrics do not make it an easy listen; it's actually hard to believe that just two guitars, a bass, a drum machine and Steve's angry voice can make such a wonderful racket. This album is called Songs about Fucking. Steve's that kind...
...real success of Pack Up The Cats is the second half of the album, which strays from typical rock conventions and moves toward a more expressive tone. The latter half also reveals the best of Local H: the guitars, bass and drive that makes you turn up the volume to ear-bleeding level and pound the crap out of your roommates.

The work, Beethoven's Mass in C, was definitely the highlight of the evening. Written in 1807 on a commission from Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy II, this was Beethoven's first setting of the Mass, and was a complete failure in the prince's eyes. Perhaps he did not appreciate Beethoven's extensive text painting (creating musical pictures of the text), and his application of personal feelings to the various parts of the mass...
