When you lack the requisite talent to get noticed, you must resort to other devices. Which in this case involves shouting "Kuntz" over and over (because it sounds like...geddit?) and then not crediting the Thai artists you worked with. 

I guess these guys think they are really pushing the envelope because they string together a litany of all the bad words they learned at age twelve. I will give you an example of the brilliant subtlety at work here with one of the lyrics: "And if you see your mom this weekend, tell her SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!" And then "Twenty Two Going on Twenty Three" begins with a woman describing her bad dreams since she has been sexually assaulted. And ends with a creepy, helium induced baby voice. Clearly, a lot of drugs were involved in the making of this and I have no idea why us non-crazies have to endure it.

Well, every List needs a nadir, we've hit ours. If you were wondering what the Joker's favorite album is, it's this one.


RATING: 0/5

  1. The music is actually quite good, that's when they bother to play any.
