Sounds Like: "The Lobster Quadrille rant and rave like molested altar boys bent on revenge. The music's tone is holy rollin' gospel amidst their odd rock of ages and blues. If Captain Beefheart went to church, paid attention, and lit a candle, this is probably how he'd come out. Not for the faint of heart or innocent. This band is brilliant."
