Second track "The Happy Sultan" and the future radio hit "Who's Pumping Estrada" (sample lyric: 'where the fuck is Ponch at John") throw down detuned heaviness that, like all of Samus' tracks, erupts into multi-headed tangents that stretch songs into ten minute beasts.
This works to a certain extent, like the way "The Happy Sultan" snaps into some Snakefinger-esque guitar twangs for a minute or so amidst nine minutes of pure doom, but it sometimes overstays its welcome.
You may hear weirder albums (interstellar overdrive by way of rhino tranquilizer is a lot easier to come by these days), but it's not likely you'll hear too many blindingly heavy albums quite this weird.
