Very cool artwork, would definitely grab my interest if I saw that as an album cover in a store.
>buying music
I only listened to the first song. Its actually pretty neato and I'd like to play this in the background while I work on shit because thats the only time I really listen to music~
Also yea that album art is awesome. Who'd you commission for it?
awesome artwork!
I liked Swampstepper a lot, and the callback to an older song of yours (forgot its name - couldn't find it on your soundcloud) was nice too!
Hey Listen was also cool. I'd buy this if I saw it at a record store too

The cover of this album is absolutely brilliant. I love the complete randomness of it, yet it's not random at the same time. The nature theme is perfect and reminds me of many of my better acid trips, but you've also tied in some of the more negative acid trips as well.
You executed it perfectly by symbolizing deep philosophical thought with the cross section of the head made of a honeycomb/poptart/rain?? with stylized neurons in it. Those are the things I tend to stay away from when tripping on strong acid as it invariably turns into something negative (politics, wars, injustice, the ontology of the universe, etc.) and ruins my trips completely.
But, it's all part of life, and it should be embraced entirely. I don't think you could have done any better of a job bringing this dichotomy together. It's very apparent with the pseudo comedy and tragedy self portraits; the lighter (comedy) on the left, seen with a faceless mouth ingesting what appears to be the dripping fluid composing your face – maybe some slight homosexual connotations there, and the mouthless tragedy on the right next to the spider which is also a tad bit darker shade than comedy, insinuating that all things dark are inherently evil – gotta love the subliminal racism.
This work is sincerely amazing. However, how it relates to the subject matter of the album is far too difficult for me to discern. I haven't found much relation, as of yet, concerning the symbolism depicted in the artwork.
I love the title of the record as well as it inspires a myriad of thoughts about its potential meaning. Though from what I've gathered based on the nature of the artwork, these ideas don't match up either (perhaps the artwork is out of place in this situation, or maybe I am just ignorant?). It appears as though, based on my interpretation of the artwork, that you are attempting to trivialize and/or interrelate drugs, ecological awareness, and homosexuality and the possible downfall of literary body of dramatists? Not quite sure how the content of the album relates to that, but who says album covers, titles, and songs actually have to have significance or meaning.
In all, great artistry on the cover! I hope to review more of your work in the near future!

I think the grammar and spelling in your sentence is a clear indication that you haven't. You should check your punctuation, and it's spelled psEudo.

I don't think this applies since there was no actual argument stated. You initially posed a question. Questions are usually not arguments. Although, some questions can be rhetorical arguments which that one may have been; however, if it were meant to be an argument, it was based on premises with assumed truth ('just masturbating to my own superior intelligence...etc.', how do you know if I masturbate? I'm actually a quadriplegic, and I type using a system which evaluates eye-movements similar to that of Stephen Hawking's powerchair who I admire very much). I responded to your question with a statement, not an argument.
But for the sake of eliminating a lengthy internet-volley-of-I'm-Smarter-Than-You, I concede defeat to you, O logic-fallacy-master, for my fallaciousness was unforgivable. I will now continue reading wikipedia's list of fallacies to prepare myself for the unsuspecting layman (who is not educated in Logics!!) to respond to idiotic questions with idiotic answers.
When I am internet-fallacy-master, you will bow to me.
In the meantime, I will continue doing my life's work (reviewing art and music on the internet)

For the second > in your rebuttal:
It is difficult to determine whether or not it was indeed a statement or question. This is caused by a lack of punctuation (perhaps a questionmark would be appropriate.)
No attack against your 'statement' was made. Stop imagining things and learn more about arguments, statements, and questions.
Also, to direct another Tu Cockque toward your mouth, I would assert that you are the autist in this epic duel of supreme college-level-intellect.

It's easy to get mad when you get evaluated by someone who has some actual critical ability. This happens all the time, so I'm not really concerned about it. As witnessed here, people generally develop an inferiority complex when I review someone's work with honest and earnest form. It's not something people are used to, but I acknowledge that, and I will make certain that my contribution to the humanities will not be "what people want to hear"... Thanks for the support Gladius, at least there is one person here who has some ability to reason soundly.

I checked my deck, but there was no blacksmith card, so I drew 10 from the deck on that turn and pulled out Cry In Corner :(

Please forgive me. I skipped kindergarten and went immediately to Princeton as adjunct professor. I didn't know about this law.
