More and more, this album is bothering me.
The voices he uses COULD point to a shizophrenia plot point. Or it could just be that he's losing his mind (in real life).
Either way: the Child Called It-ness of the album makes it hard for me to WANT to listen to it. Then add in the relentless pill-talk (which could have been interesting had it been addressed fully, seriously -- in a primal scream therapy manner), and the relenetless murder-fantasies (it's one thing to call Lindsay 'practically a 10' but another to then see yrself kidnapping and strangling her), and the relentless shock-adelica (Christopher Reeves? I mean, what is that? What's the POINT???)
I think I was really hoping for a serious comeback. And by serious, I mean one where he addresses (not just touches upon) the serious things that he's gone thru since the last LP. Instead, we get a few late-album glimpses into something real, and then a whole lot of shit that I'm not sure why we'd be expected to care about?
Maybe RELAPSE 2 is the planned serious album.....
