Cost $1.00
Make no mistake, this album is first and foremost a delivery system for humorous and ironic songtitles. In many cases, they even surpass Anal Cunt at it. I was pleasantly surprised because while I expected a comedic novelty listen, which this certainly is, a couple of the straightforward parts are pretty good grindcore. The pure grind stuff is broken up by all sorts of strange and humorous material, and the CD just gets weirder and weirder as it goes on. The album as a whole is much less monotonous than old Agoraphobic Nosebleed, most AxCx (they're generally not as noisecore-sounding, although there are obvious influences and a tribute track called--what else--"Anal Cunt is Gay"), and Meat Shits (they're not as reliant on samples, although there are plenty--and I actually wish they had included more) material.
Just some comments about the end of the disc..."Ozzy Looked like Bea Arthur on the Ultimate Sin Tour" is one of the greatest songtitles ever, and at just over 13 min. long I had high hopes. Unfortunately it's a much-too-short cover medley of Sabbath's "It's Alright" and "Back Street Kids" with some Ozzy stage banter samples, and then 10 minutes of silence. There are several untitled 4 and 5 second tracks--most of these are dedicated to studio foolery inspired by the lyrics to Venom's "Sacrifice," and later on Gus Backus' '60s hit "Der Mann Im Mond" is sampled. Disappointingly, since the last track is listed as "99) Luft Balloons," I was hoping for the actual Nena cover, but it's just a short audio clip of some hockey commentators bookended by silence.
Worth the buck just for the Sabbath renditions and the vintage pic of Bruce Dickinson in his silly feathered "Powerslave" mask on top of the disc.
