about

THE PATHOLOGY OF CAPITALISM.
GRINDING HOPE.
FUCK IT UP. BURN IT DOWN.
GRINDING ON.
FOREVER.
FOREVER.
I'M FADING OUT.
I'M DYING.
FOREVER.

This was supposed to be, like, four tracks. OH, WELL.

My favorite song will change often for this album, because the whole thing is absolutely, stunningly excellent. I chose the opening track, this time at least, based on this statement alone- Now THAT is how you open an album. Incredible! cephy00z
