I bent the endocrine
To poll the ember furthest
The poorly uncontained
The plain, unpaid somnambulance
Frayed, soulless
You miscounted, you're on the list
The grade that fell objectless
None can best everything I confess
Impaled gain, like the rest
Black bells in protest, well awake in text
We can mock disdain or plot with apathy
Greyed
Let's take the day
I can tell the sent to stay
They collect and every thought was impressed
They witnessed the best
Pray, the pull to break an opal and take the rest

Thanks to Stephen, Colin, Jeff, Kevin, and whoever wrote/maintains the SoX command line tool (if not for SoX it would have likely taken several months for me to get the drums finished).

(This album comes with a bonus item -- Album 4: a single wav file with a length of 1/2147483647 of a second, or one sample long at 2147483647Hz (as opposed to 44100Hz, which is the normal sample rate for music); this is the shortest possible recording, since sample rates are stored as signed 32-bit integers in wav files, meaning this is the highest possible sample rate and the smallest possible subdivision of a second, and it is therefore the shortest album of all time.)
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
