FEAR OF DOLLS: Lullabies For Aborted Children

Artist: FEAR OF DOLLS (@)
Title: Lullabies For Aborted Children
Format: CD
Label: self-released
Rated: * * * * *
LULLABIES FOR ABORTED CHILDREN is the latest and maybe last Fear Of Dolls' album and I must say that it is a though one. If while listening to the old EPs you had a sense of desperation, with this one desperation turned into nihilism: check the opening "Can you hear the sickness?" and you'll understand what I mean. Try to imagine a choir of pigs (do you remember the Sickness Of Snakes' track recorded that way?) mixed with fallen angels vocals and you'll have that track. "Screaming inside her" opens with an applause and that one starts the "freak show". Originally the track was contained into the "Bless this broken body" EP (as well as the following "She was laughing") but it has been re-recorded. The effect of listening to forty five minutes of Fear Of Dolls music all in a row is positively devastating and it is like listening to a Codeine record played by the Birthday Party. I suggest you to avoid the listening if you are depressed or stressed. I'm not joking: the first time I listened to it I had to stop at track three. For this reason I'm reviewing it with a certain delay. I had to wait for a positive time as this summer I had my moving and the death of my father in law and listening to LULLABIES FOR ABORTED CHILDREN wasn't helping at all. Try it!
