Well, I tell you what… this fucking album is so good that I was ready to buy it after a single listen, and still almost pulled the trigger, but…

And damn it, it’s still tempting. Yes, LINEA ASPERA is that good. I’ve had this on repeat for days now. It’s in my blood.

Track 5, Malarone, has got me all twisted up:

“He’s a protozoan, he’s just a filthy protozoan
The roads are dry and dusty and we’re taking in the scenery
Waving to the people in the fields;
This is life to me, as far as the eye can see
And you are dead to me
I was twisted up in Cwezi shrines and you were the anomaly
A conceited disease
Time spent in foreign lands is a cure, it seems
And it triggered a change in me
This is an unfamiliar strain, I have no immunity
Ravenous and unrelenting, pathogenic and parasitic
This is unclean and it has to be treated
Parasite in the bloodstream: this is unclean
And he’s feeding, he’s been feeding on everything
The roads were dry and dusty, we were taking in the scenery
Waving to the people in the fields;
This was life to me, as far as the eye could see
And you were dead to me
He’s just a filthy protozoan”

I’ve got fuck all to say right now but I didn’t want to forget this. It feels like my head is in a vice and I truly feel like hammered shite. Anyway… if you happen upon this. Enjoy… I’m told it’s also Coldwave.
