    Reasonable album but not the best in their repertoire. Terrible singing on side B
    • Acidtabloid's avatar
      Acidtabloid
      Test Dept. rips it up as gently as possible with this 'sensitive-industrial' record. A voice full of dysphoria and forlornness, Catherine Jauniaux's vocals have never sounded better! Expressive and required listening for anyone who has felt they lost a person, place or time and cannot fully sense the depths of how much they want them back.
