I have no idea why I love this album so much, but damn I love it. The album is themed around Christianity and gospel(?) but, unlike other Christian bands, instead of dancing around the positives of it all, it plunges into the poison womb of the negatives and corruption.

The album, in my eyes, themes itself around an early ages Christian setting, and the songs fit into that with their lyrics, and the keyboard synth in the background, commonly resembling organs.

Individual track notes:

Cannibal is a great example of the album going into the dark and corrupt side of Christianity. This song, as the title somewhat implies, is revolving around cannibalism, specifically feasting on our own children. The song showcases a sound of regret towards the end, with lyrics like "Father, what have I done!", as if they are recognizing their sins and how its too late to change, they've already been damned. Also shown in lyric "We fashion a new generation, who thinks like us, speaks like us, kills for us. Through them we will not die", which I believe refers to that their legacy will not die, and be passed on through their children, if they didn't eat the shit out of them.

Harlot's Womb is just a great full throttle fast paced track. The keys in this track add a lot, even though they are very subtle. NOTE I do not know shit about the bible, I don't know who Emily and Apollyon and Babylon is. (Apollyon referred to in Harlots Womb, Babylon in Drop The Bomb, Emily in Dying Young)

Judas is a great and remarkable song. This song of course goes on about the story of Judas, specifically the betrayal of Jesus. Notable lyrics like "See you standing sober, cutting out my fathers eyes" and "You're like a son to me". The second verse goes right into the betrayal.

Favorite track: Judas. Least favorite track: Morgan Freeman.
