The Some Bizzare CD release is not guilty of this consolidation, and neither<br \/>\nis the Thirsty Ear CD release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPigswill\u201d is mis-spelled on the Self Immolation\/Homestead CD release track listing on the disc itself, as \u201cPigswell\u201d. \u201cAnything (Viva!)\u201d may or may not refer to a girl Thirlwell had a crush on in elementary school, named Viva.  In one interview he stated he would serenade her with renditions of Elvis Presley\u2019s \u201cViva Las Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2007 Some Bizzare CD release is digipack format, with remastered<br \/>\naudio and re-worked artwork.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Reviews<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Nail<\/em> is possibly the best Foetus album; it apparently hopes to  piss off all potential listeners by working through as many warped  sounds and styles as possible. Though Thirlwell\u2019s  sense of humor is sometimes hard to take (check the faux-cinematic  \u201cTheme from Pigdom Come\u201d and \u201cOverture to Pigdom Come\u201d), the sheer range  of this music is hard to believe. -Keith Farley, allmusic.com<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Nail<\/em> focuses, Ruin observes, feels-ruminations of hellish,  turbulent death, agony, murder and down, black-mind opens and lets loose the  darkness. Music soars, crashes, AGAIN. AGAIN. AGAIN. \u201cDescent Into The Inferno\u201d  pops, rolls, reels, tumbles down and up, up, up and around and ends\u2026Death as glorious end to hellish agony, \u201cEnter The Exterminator\u201d\u2026Music: \u201cThe  Theme From Pigdom Come\u201d \u201cPrivate War\u201d\u2026Words: \u201cIsn\u2019t it a pity what a town  without pity can do\u201d \u201cI can do any goddamn thing I want\u201d\u2026Satanic poetry.
