If I had a time machine, I wouldn't use it to kill Hitler. I wouldn't introduce Abraham Lincoln to the concept of bodyguards. No, I wouldn't teach Columbus how to play nice or derail the First World War or punch Enver Pasha in the face. I would use it to stop this album from being made.

1:28. Sounds like a Hello Kitty Suicide Club cover.

I've heard Quetzalcoatl and Reign Array and liked them both although the former took multiple listens for it to sink in. Nonetheless I'm pretty interested in hearing the rest of the album. Some of the weirdest music I've heard in a while which intrigues me.

Unfortunately, yes. Let me assure you, it will not be fun. There's "bad" in the sense of a bad movie, there's "bad" in the way we obviously dislike Justin Bieber, and then there's Liturgy...

How does it compare to Lulu or Striborg's works?

It's far more akin to Lulu rather than Striborg. That is, in the sense that they are clearly a band of relatively competent musicians that just don't know the first thing about songwriting or genre melding, whereas with Striborg I get the sense that the music is secondary to the whole "kvlt" appeal he tries to manifest. On a simple scale, it's just as bad as Lulu, if not slightly better given that Metallica and Lou Reed have both created music that I enjoy, where as Liturgy had made no prior impressions on myself.

Just finished listening to the album. It is rare for me to feel so conflicted about an album as much as I am with this one. While it does have some good moments, the record as a whole is an amalgamation of repetitive nonsense and a clusterfuck of strange ideas. The vocals are jarring, and I wouldn't call this "metal" in any sense. More like experimental electronica. Still, I can't say that I was bored, if only because of how fucking weird it is.

I can!

Looks like that One Direction comparison is better suited than we thought.

No, scratch that; at least One Direction actually try to sound good.

I bet One Direction at least have a solid idea about what they are doing in the first place.

Well, the CD+shirt and 2xLP+shirt options are labeled as 'Out of Stock' on the label site...

Admiration? I admire those who sit through the entire thing, but those who actually liked it... I'm just gonna scratch my head in disbelief.

There's too much of a strong consensus for that to happen .

I am a huge believer in the idea that art does not have to fit inside the box of what we conceive the platform to be. So I respect Liturgy's choice to make something odd. I have no problem with that. I also don't think art has to be beautiful or pleasant. I am certainly okay with the challenge of finding the hint of beauty in something ugly. However, this may be too great a challenge for me; I don't know if I can find it here.

Those horns made me want to kill something. This is easily one of the most obnoxious albums I have ever had the displeasure of being subjected to.

The most frustrating part of the album is hearing tiny glimpses of good being suffocated by so much bad.

Didn't find it as bad as people made it out to be, but it's still pretty bad overall. The plastic production and the lack of progression was the real problem for me...and those moaning vocals
