I really liked bits of Ufabulum but there are times where I feel like he's j= ust massively taking the piss out of us and even himself. Massively takes th= e piss live (like Al Pacino doing an OTT impression of himself in Devil's Ad= vocate). If you can find any rhythm in his all out I'm-gonna-fuck-your-brain= type stuff then you should work for a government agency as a code breaker o= r something. I'm hoping for something different on this new album.
