...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.
