From beginning to end, this album is a gradually worsening nightmare that does not forget to contain some delightfully twisted humor as well. I see and experience the music as a sort of exorcism of the soul. Sometimes accusing external entities, sometimes turning the anger (almost) towards oneself. The lyrics are mostly shocking, and balanced somewhat by their half-hidden humor and frivolously psychotic fervor. I am not sure if I should laugh, cry, cringe in terror or lash out in anger after hearing the tracks, so I decide to let all these feelings wash over me and emerge at the end with a renewed view on my (mostly) meaningless existence. I specially like the later, more abrasive tracks. The grinding and distorted sounds come to a climax in the last one "Ride out!", a primordial sort of war song. Very well done. After hearing this album all the previous DIJ albums start to sound somewhat bland (except for perhaps "Operation Hummingbird"). I do not care whether Douglas had any personal reasons for making this particular album or what his motives were for its directions, but I can say that its impact applies to a lot more than what some other "fans" are willing to give it credit for. If it is indeed a personal vendetta, then it must surely gain in comic value?

Love this record. It scares the bejesus out of my co-office workers :) Also a great record to lift weights to:) Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock!

Well, Douglas has taken yet another turn for the better. Some of his best guitar work, trumpets, accordian(!!!), and sparse percussive work. The electronic work harkens back to the electronic reworkings of Fields of Rape and maybe Death of a Man.

The album is basiclly divided into two sections. The first are acoustic tracks with a bit of Boyd here and there. The tracks are all very good in sound quality and construction. These are some of DIJ's darker songs, but they have such a great and almost upbeat melody. I hesitate to use the word fun to describe this album, but it is.

The second section consists of radical, electronically altered versions of the first half. Dark, noisy, menacing... All very, very brilliant.

All in all, All Pigs Must Die continues the run that started with Operation Hummingbird and Take Care and Control. I fear it will all turn back into bland/weird folk soon enough, but for now I am loving it like a dog in carion.

A welcome return of Doug P to the acoustic guitar and trumpet like the records of old,only this album's DARKER than those.Doug has a lot of anger toward,um,SOMEBODY!Did he channel Manson?Whatever the case this album is very strong and interesting in ways I haven't heard on a DIJ album.Not sure what it is.Boyd Rice appears on a chilling track.The last few tracks are frightening soundscapes.Don't know what all this means,but I am into this!

Warning! Danger, Will Robinson, DANGER! Stinker of a CD approaching. Will protect! Talent squandered on peurile vendetta. Unlistenable .... Do not waste your money. DIJ fans will ignore this but they will REGRET IT!
