    These guys are scary. This is about the most depressing music I've ever heard, and I regularly listen to Bloomsday. I like it. Intense, heartfelt vocals are sung out over the darkest guitar arrangements you'll ever hear anywhere. You can just feel the pain oozing from the cassette deck as you sit there listening, not knowing whether to bawl your eyes out or just sit there and sulk. This band makes the Cure seem giddy. This album is recommended for anyone who enjoys a good cry. This album, however, is not recommended for anyone on Prozac.
