It’s here that the group engages in a battle of wills with the listener as the track settles in to a mesmerizing, bottomless repetition, spinning it’s wheels as if the tape is caught in an endless loop, forced to play the exact same chilling riff ad nauseam. I guess at some point in the next twenty minutes or so you are anticipated to either run from the space, commit suicide or hit the quit button when you simply just cannot take it anymore. The album was initial released in October 2001 by Gern Blandsten Records and later re-released in 2002 by English label Blast Initial.
The song itself is a pretty interesting bit of psycho-industrial groove rock centered on a menacing slow echo effected bass line that pulses on a total of two notes even though drums dissect the beat in lurching rhythms. Guitars squeal otherworldly riffs with a hypnotic flair although creepy undertones dive and soar by way of the mix. » and cheery sentiments like, «These are the days that should occur to you / These are the nights that you should live through» Soon after several rave ups, drop outs and restarts, all musical concepts appear to have been exhausted at about the seven minute mark.
It displays the band in its original line-up with singer Angus Andrew, guitarist Aaron Hemphill, bassist Pat Noecker (at the moment in These Are Powers), and drummer Ron Albertson. Underworld’s album Beaucoup Fish was credited by Angus Andrew as the foremost influential album on They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Prime.
«Mr Your On Fire Mr» is possibly the most accessible, tonal, funky track on the album, and suitably surreal titles stick to, such as «Why Midnight Walked But Didn’t Ring Her Bell», on this quick, chaotic album. This track loops more than and over in a turgid compelling perpetual slur lasting longer than the eight tracks that precede it. The Liars are more experimental than their fellow genre-defining cohorts amusingly dubbed New-York-No-Wave-Rock, even though not a single member of The Liars is a native New-Yorker.

Less dirty-rock, a lot more dandy-rock, it really is intelligently DIY prototypical punk, much more Avant-Garde and original than we’ve come to expect from the intentionally lo-fi brand of rock band at the moment pouring from the US city rock scene.

If one of the prerequisite of an experimental rock outfit is to test the patients of listeners, then «this dust makes that mud Dust Tends to make That Mud» from the Liars 1st album undoubtedly fits the bill. The track is an epic drone, meant to conclude the group’s ambitious and sometimes effective debut, They Threw Us In A Trench and Stuck A Monument On Best.
