ohGr, Undeveloped

Picked this up recently. I have to say, I am wondering if Nivek Ogre is afflicted with the Star Trek curse: every other work is a great one. Not to say his off albums aren't good, and let's face it four albums is hardly a sample from which to draw a trend, but I definitely feel as though his second and fourth albums now, Sunnypsyop and Undeveloped are not as strong as his first and third, Welt and Devils In My Details respectively.

Er, but enough of his other works, there are actually some incredible gems here, like comedown and screwMe:

"helpless stranger looking out to understand what it means to be real, I had the life we always dreamed in, but life is not what you expect"

Just an excerpt that really caught my attention; you really need to hear the rhythm to get it though. I don't know how many times I have played these tracks over and over. Most other tracks are interesting and support the album, like pissage - where Nivek's wicked lyrical rhythms carry the track. 101 and the interludes I could leave, hence the only slightly-less-than-stellar recommendation here.

If you're already an ohGr fan you will have this. If you have never heard of ohGr, I would go with Welt over Undeveloped.

I suppose if you're taking it a la carte you could definitely take comedown and screwMe.

Ok, since first writing this, Nitwitz has grown me!
