III: So Long Suckers is a 2 CD set with only 7 songs. Those songs clock in at over 2 hours, with some songs almost 30 minutes long. Reverend Bizarre does a great job keeping things interesting and constantly changing and manage the difficult task of holding the listener’s attention for the entire length of the song.
The music has a nice flow to it. The songs go from glacially slow and heavy doom that plods along at a crushing pace to faster with a more rock vibe. The mood and emotion ranges from severely to mildly depressed. The length of the songs allow for long instrumental interludes that showcase the drums and downtuned guitars before vocalist Albert Witchfinder returns with his gloomy baritone. It’s better to go out with a bang than a whimper, and if this does turn out to be the last album from Reverend Bizarre, they are exiting with a magnum opus.
