thanks to the double foetus placing in the 80's poll, lets poll all (ok most) of the foetus/foetus related full length releases (yes compilations included)

i will of course go round over the weekend and say hello and intro myself.

however, they are v. young/beautiful/hipster looking, so rather jealous/scared of them.

i hate the whole new neighbour groove.

my next conquest. two songs into Hole and it's covered quite a lot of ground musically.

"Lust for Death" like industrial/rockabilly plus the clever parody title.

also it namedrops me, Neanderthal.

Nail is queued up after.

loving these revives, enjoy! Hole is my fave but I've never heard a bad one

"Street Of Shame" is my fave jam from Hole

a lyrical tour-de-force as well, just endlessly quotable lines throughout the whole thing

thanks! i don't even remember what sent me down this rabbit hole, other than having gone through a heavy but brief EBM/industrial phase that wasn't fully realized back in my late 20s, where I only got to scratch some surface-level itch. maybe it was the Cosey Fanni Tutti thread bump the other day. probably that.

back to this album, now we have blues-industro pastiche in "Sick Man". lord, so many genres touched on. how does one man have all this power?

omg the "ooma mow wow" Bird is the Word send-up on "Satan Place"...

I listened to Foetus religiously during my late teens/early 20s, still kind of enjoy it when I hear it, and had NEVER picked up on the fact that Lust For Death is a parody title of Lust For Life. Now I've been set straight!

Hole is fantastic. I don't really get Nail but it's worth hearing. Then you can skip the 90s and head straight for 00's Foetus, which is pretty much all good stuff all the time
