Coil is like a box of chocolates...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"..Sweet, addictive, and with something for, well, most people. The sound ranges from pure, Throbbing Gristle-style noise (Sewage Worker's.., Clap) to, um, TG-style scary, ultra-primitive, animalistic chanting (Godhead ~ Deathead, Solar Lodge) - only even rawer and more threatening than TG, and far more catchy, stylish, and (dare I say it?) infernal than anything that lineup ever created- to the Enoesque, off-kilter pop of 'Restless Day', and the almost ambient 'At the Heart of It All'. There are plenty of pleasant little surprises like the presence of Gavin Friday and Marc Almond on 'The Tenderness of Wolves' and their infamously creepy re-working of pop anthem 'Tainted Love'. No truly weak points to be found- while I found 'The Spoiler' and 'Panic' irritating, even they have a certain repetitive charm to them and would fit in nicely on, say, 'Horse Rotorvator'. All in all, a damn fine album, full of choice little bonbons of noisy delight that beg to be played, re-played, and shared with the neighbours."
