Unlike most albums that are put together by combining two EP's '13 songs' sounds like a proper full length, conceived from beginning to end - but really these 13 songs come from their self titled EP and the 'Margin Walker' EP. As I mentioned to you I was a late bloomer, familiar only with 'Waiting Room', having heard that song many a times at Respectables. This album is like a great kick to your face, each track catching you off guard as to how heavy it hits you, and you actually wanting more. Guy has both the most menacing and sexiest voice for a guy I have ever heard - sure it is easier to sing to Ian's songs but the ones that fuck with your head are Guy's. Simply this album was at least 10 years ahead of its time and is a must for anyone who has ever gotten goosebumps from listening to music. Fucking brilliant.
