专辑简介
Four electric guitars. One electric bass. One set of drums. One Glenn Branca.
The title suggests a return to the old format. The performers confirm the agenda.
Wondering how it compares to the legendary Ascension? Of course you are.
Simply: The Ascension didn't change the world and now this agitated followup is wondering why.
The interplay is center this time, and union is rarer and quicker. In fact, the result is that it's probably a more intriguing listen than The Ascension but the sacrifice is the orgasmic gratification - the quickening builds plateau and your heart rate is in the lurch. The Blood, in particular, rages in stages. Angry bites you. But you can bet it's always cool as hell.
It's not the blinding original, and less of a Eureka! (it is a sequel after all), but it is the most blood-boiling Branca's been in a while. There is also the advantage of a better recording quality. The drums have some pop now and you can pick out each guitar.
In the post-Branca age, this is almost an instant relic, a no wave echo, but it's the kind of nightmare that haunts the indie sect. Act accordingly - Dad would be proud.
