blissfully depressing

Review Score: (10/10)
Never before has so much loss been encapsulated within the confines of a forty-eight minute album. Electro-Shock Blues is a tour de force and I really can't imagine anyone not liking it. Everything about it is sublime in nature, from the lyrics to the samples to the music itself. My life is so much more complete now that I have listened to it.
