Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Mother of All Saints' is a sprawling, wildly chaotic double album that cemented the band's status as pioneers of 90s experimental indie rock. The group weaves incredibly dissonant noise rock and art punk with surreal, humorous detours, resulting in a playful yet deeply cryptic musical collage.
