Oh my God. Any record that begins with a track called "Drum Solo" is not a promising endeavor. This goes a few steps further, though.
Instrumental ineptitude, a lack of significant ideas (or any type of idea at all, really), and pathetic recording quality combine for a listening experience from hell. The drumming in particular is noteworthy, since it sounds as though they are being banged on by an eight year-old. The only thing that saves this from being full-blown garbage is the occasional melody that leaks though the noise. Otherwise, this is music for masochists and the mentally disturbed only.
Grade:
