Some of these albums feel like a practical joke.  Maybe someone is pulling a prank on people who will do anything if it is on a list.  Well, I think that is just cruel! We know we have a problem.

I knew that this was going to be incredibly pretentious when I saw that one of the tracks was titled "Walls of Sound."  This did not sound like music.  The closest comparison I can make is that it sort of resembled factory noises.  Apparently this album is classified as "industrial."  All right.  It is not fun or pleasing to listen to.

Hopefully this streak of truly horrific albums will end soon.  1 star, proving again that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

RATING: 1/5
