When I first discovered The Body, there was something about this album's cover that instinctively drew me toward the band and their music. A black and white photograph of two figures in a desolate-looking area, holding sticks, and with strange acorn-looking things on their heads. It spoke to that inherent human fear of the unknown, things that we know aren't necessarily dangerous, but that we are nonetheless partially afraid of because we can't entirely figure them out. It seemed to be beckoning me, devilishly so. "Come and listen," it was saying. "You're terrified, but you know you want to."

This is a really interesting album. The riffs are just pounding as fuck, the vocals remind me of Xasthur, and those audio samples and the dissonance going on here is just creepy as hell. Pretty unique among blackened sludge bands

This album is so much more interesting than the releases from this year, and the vocals I'm been railing against today on those albums' threads are a lot less prominent. Some pretty cool stuff here

Hehe, glad ya found something to enjoy from them, man!

I think the problem with the new album is maybe due in part to the fact that it is such a sum up of what the band's done thus far... so many different ingredients thrown into the recipe that it can actually get to be a bit much. I love it personally, because knowing their discog in detail it feels to me like an awesome culmination of everything they've done up to present, but for people just getting into the band I can understand how it could be very alienating
