Prurient
Oxidation

After the last albums, which we might consider gentle, Prurient returns to our very limited eardrums.

And he does so by distancing himself from the somewhat gentle recent albums, giving us a very Harsh, very Noise, and not very interesting work. A return to the origins, perhaps even heavier than his old tapes.

The four tracks, of medium length (even less than twenty minutes), show little commitment in my opinion. Apart from the obvious mockery of the distribution in flac format, Ecstasy Slave has very few reasons to be listened to. The walls of white noise no longer scare anyone. Much better is the first part of Ketamine Slave, quite lively (you'll even find a note at the end of the piece).

Vicodin Slave is the best episode, with truly abrasive parts, but too diluted. Finally, the worst you can find in Harsh: Cocaine Slave (nice titles, don't you think?): A track that I don't even want to waste time illustrating.

Could the -relative- fame that Prurient has gained in the recent albums have already gone to his head? In doubt, here everything has already been heard.
