Must have been in my brief industrial phase when I purchased this. Probably just off of a Ministry fix. Don't much care for it now, except I
still love Closer. The album just misses the like mark. It is the groups best selling going 4x Platinum. It is a concept album about the
destruction of man. I don't know, that's just what it says. It also says it was influenced by Bowie's Low and Floyd's The Wall albums. It was
recorded in the house that Sharon Tate was murdered in, where Trent had moved to. That's creepy enough for me.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Eraser
