This is absoolutely the most jarring of any Foetus album yet. The music makes your ribs crack not only because of the noisy, thickly composed screaming metal-banging music, but also the immediate juxtaposition of wild noise & some of Thirlwell's quintissentially Thirlwell modern classical pieces. There's also a blues song (with very poetic lyrics, I might add as a well-read poet), & some tabla drumming. This crazy experimental music can be pretty catchy, too, if you ask me -- especially the 4th & 5th songs. Or anyways. I mean. I like those songs a lot. It's also pretty incredible that Thaw is so radically different as a whole from the Foetus album that preceeded it: Nail, also wonderful music. Between them he did a Wiseblood album, Dirtdish, which has a lot of pulsing static white noise.
