Ok...so Jesus Crost do groovy gore grind now? Dunno when the change over happened exactly, but it happened. Don't get me wrong, the cover art is pretty hilarious considering the usual subject matter of Jesus Crost's material...but other than that...shit....I really don't want to say it, because I hate dissing bands....but this shit sucks ass. Compared to the insane precision and ruthless insanity of material like Tot, this 7" comes across as a bit boring and as a lazy joke. It sounds like a sub-par GUT mixed with some random brutal death metal band, all the while trying to imitate Jig-Ai / Rompeprop-esque polka rhythms. The whole thing just falls flat on it's arse. Please, please go back to fastcore, guys!
The porno sample over the first track goes on for so long you'd swear that Mortician had a hand in producing it. Things pick up around the end of side A with "Rachid Bouaouzan", which has a half-decent groove, but other than that, this thing just goes nowhere. I'm not entirely sure if this record is really as awful as I'm making out or if it is just my own massive personal disappointment in the decline in Jesus Crost's output. That's the thing that hurts the most; Jesus Crost are (usually) so absolutely fucking goddamn awesome. I dunno what the fuck happened here...I'm sorry for the negativity! I'm sure most of you are already know I rarely do negative reviews, but I just gotta be honest with you here... :(
This was put out on Rodel Records. Again, I apologise for the negativity but to quote the internet: "I am dissapoint". Maybe this'll grow on me
