Background

Commented Dying Fetus guitarist/vocalist John Gallagher: "The last album had some groove in it, but [it] was basically a lot of tech; this one is a return to form of older Fetus albums, so to speak — more modern production, though, of course. Everything's tight, the sound is crushing, the drums are amazing."

All music is composed by Gallagher.

gollark: And that's a great example of it being "arbitrary".
gollark: "Stupid" more in the sense of "I don't really like it" and "it doesn't appear to be sensibly solving an actual problem".
gollark: Well, it's "arbitrary" in the sense of "determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle", as the interweb™️ puts it.
gollark: So very stupid and arbitrary...
gollark: No, I wouldn't, since that would be even more triangular.
