    Sounds like something Mr. Bungle would do. I can hear Mike Pattons voice on it.

    Hi Ray. According to wikipedia, 'the woman singing in an operatic fashion on the track "Dance Like You're Selling Nails" is a musician named Jo App'.

    I think this is the most extreme form of music: avant garde, non-melodic, and having all kinds of aspects that most people hate! Therefore I approve :)
