I was sorta waiting for this day to come. §E▲ ▓F D▓G§ has finally crushed music I used to think was BAD ASS. Like, ZONΞ ΞATΞR (§E▲ ▓F D▓G§’ split-mate) does it to a certain extent, but it’s clear in “Imagine Cerberus As A Giant Mermaid” there’s a heavier air of humor layered upon this reappropriation. Not to mention the nod the track sustains. Yet, oddly the title “Imagine Cerberus As A Giant Mermaid” reflects a lot of these grindcore and post-splatter and (even) nu-metal “BAD ASS” bands that §E▲ ▓F D▓G§ is potentially mocking here, though, maybe not. It almost comes off as trolling listeners into lawlz, but as Ween took their shit 100-percent on a professionally humorous basis, “Imagine Cerberus As A Giant Mermaid” features similar production mastery influenced by gas we all have trapped inside our heads that tends to make us laugh. Maybe it was the dude from Tool who claimed he accessed that gas too while song writing, but Tool’s shit is way haWWWWrd on the SERIO (bro), and as I believe §E▲ ▓F D▓G§ put laborious work into Side B of the new ZONΞ ΞATΞR split, It Swallows, the end game is one hell of a healthy giggle, rather than the straight-face of”46 & 2.” Not to say Tool didn’t have the same sort of enjoyment with the outcome of their work about humans evolving physically by mutating two more chromosomes within their bodies, but… LOL? However, in relativity, I was JUST as much into thinking Tool was cool as FUCK as I do now of §E▲ ▓F D▓G§, so §E▲ ▓F D▓G§ is basically Tool. Check it:
