Special request from the JW. This here "Double-LP" was recorded at the Spacestation between May 1996 and May 1997. What more can I say about one of my purrfectly favorite records of the past 10 years? I think I've owned this about 5 times now. Keep giving it away. Because it remains their bestest effort, methinks. Can someone please take note that "Flawless Victory" must be played at my funeral? Or I'll refuse to attend.
from allmusicguide: The Fucking Champs' sprawling III boasts heroic doses of metal, electronic atmospheres, and prog rock-like ambition, the fusion of which the band has dubbed "total music." Their devotion to these styles is indeed total: while song titles like "You've Got a Thirst, Portland" flirt with irony, the Fucking Champs have a more-than-healthy appreciation for — and ability to re-create — the technical proficiency and flamboyance of their influences...Like many albums of epic proportions, III sometimes feels scattered, but it's also bold, ambitious, and surprisingly nuanced. The Fucking Champs delivered more focused versions of their total music in their later work, but here, it's dazzling in its diversity.
