Reviewer :  level 12   70/100
Date : 
One of the most eclectic Metal albums of its time, and certainly not something I expected from the Sludge Metal genre. About half the songs are true Sludge Metal, and even those are rife with other influences, namely Stoner and Avant-Garde Metal. Then there’s a bunch of straight Stoner Metal, some Acoustic Rock, Folky stuff… At times it really sounds like if First Utterance was a Metal album.

The music itself is pretty straightforward, it’s just combined in ways that make it less conventional. The lyrics on the other hand, are absolutely nonsensical and bizarre. The overall package is most certainly a decent representation of a mentally ill psycho going through drug addled hallucinations.

At over an hour long, the variety definitely helps differentiate the songs and retain interest. The album does a good job of switching between speedier, aggressive material and slower or gentler songs, keeping the pacing even. Unfortunately, while surprisingly consistent for the variety and length, it doesn’t have many great songs. Most of them are good with a few standouts like “Cassie Eats Cockroaches” and “Scream of the Butterfly,” but there’s nothing here I care to return to in the future.

debutové album "When the Kite String Pops" od kapely Acid Bath, kombinuje Doom/Sludge Metal, pričom ja v ich hudbe počujem občas aj prvky Grunge. Kapela má dobrý zvuk (hlavne gitary sú pekne hutné) a spev strieda viacero polôh, od melodického po ukričaný a akoby nahnevaný.
level 9   95/100
Sludge metal done real good. For guys who go crazy for sludgy, sticky, and heavy guitar tones like me, this album is a heavy dose and does wonders.
level 10   85/100
스래쉬한 느낌도 있는, 자켓등으로 인해, 전혀 예상 밖의 음악입니다.
level 8   90/100
묵직한기타. 화끈한 보컬. 중간중간에 맛깔난 멜로다, 지루할 틈이 없는 들을수록 빠져드는 마력의 앨범.
level 3   85/100
아주 좋소... 이 밴드 작명 센스가 마음에 든다.
level 1   85/100
들으면 들을수록 중독적인 매력에 빠져든다!
level 11   96/100
다양한 장르와 버물어진 Sludge계의 숨겨진 명반. 94년 최고의 메탈 앨범.
