Notes & Reviews:

Postpone whatever good deed you were just about to do, clear your mind of virtuous thoughts, indulge in the politically incorrect stimulant of your choice, and turn your stereo up really, really loud so you can incense your neighbors as you listen to this sinfully transcendent collection of music suffused with the darkness that enshrouds my heart and, I hope, yours. –Lucifer
