The term Noise Rock might put most people off, but wait a few seconds, allow this noise fest to take take your brain for a few seconds before you make a judgment. It really is, ugly, grimy, dirty & mean ,but this album effectively is beautiful art created from filth, simple filth. A truly nihilistic assault on your ears, the album is extremely memorable & surprisingly catchy despite it's lack of traditional melody, partly due to certain songs weird nuances & a veneer of suffering that (if you've ever experienced hard times) cut right through the crap & right to how you feel. Structurally the songs are half-paced punk with alternating singers shouting hateful & indignant slogans that show off how society really does screw some of us (all of us) over to our own degree. Some songs feature off-time clapping, "evil child" backing vocals & hideous sections of crudely strummed chords overlaid with vile feedback. However, this is a 40 minute masterpiece. If you are willing to find beauty within a rotting sonic carcass, turn your attention to this pure stinker & you won't regret it.
