how does the ice album & new kingdom's "paradise don't come cheap" compare to godflesh's "songs of love and hate in dub"? i bought it primarily from arthur's review on his web site & since have been a little underwhelmed. the d'n'b track (almost heaven?) is utterly brutal & amazing, but the hip hoppier pieces are pretty dull. i was hoping for louder, crazier, dirtier & it didn't deliver. can you make any comparisons? ethan btw, in general i think arthur's site is pretty much on for reviews, just missed me on this one... > ---------- > From: Arthur B.
