First of all, I want to clear things up for you, this band is not for those "Grindcore Haters", but still, if you skip this album you'll be missing a lot of incredible moments; my point here is, this album is so good that many people won't understand its greatness, and then they will say "Dude like?this is Porngrind right?...nah I hate this genre anyway", so I say, at least give this album a chance, you might regret, but you might love this experience.

The album punches you in the face instantly, the tracks are short as most Grindcore songs are, but damn those tunes are catchy as hell, then we have the vocals, this guy obviously exploits the harmonizer and some other effects, this fact makes his voice sounds like a rabid yet calmed dog. The music is not complex or insanely technical, this guys focus on doing straight music "no strings attached", so there's not many explanations to do about the chords, the progressions or whatever.

This album manages to be one of the most brutal releases in Grindcore history, but still it has a mellow side, I mean they even added a clip from "The Simpsons", do you remember when Sideshow Bob walks around the new "Thompsons" boat, and then a lot of gardening forks slap him in the face?, that snip exactly.

The music is insanely tight, yes maybe they lack of methodological abilities, but who cares anyway, the aggression is good and the music is catchy, fortunately this guys do not abuse the usual "Blast-Beat", instead they add some great breakdowns here and there, then we can hear some explosive beats and awesome execution, the musicians are very good, the songwriting is marvelous, and the music sounds brutal but not THAT brutal, so we have another great thing in this album?Balance, and believe me, a Grindcore band with balance is really hard to find.

I recommend this band if you are not looking for insanely technical music, if you don't need deep or philosophical lyrics, if you are willing to hear a band with catchy riffs, brutal distortions, tight execution, and primarily, if you are interested in the " how does a really good Porngrind band sounds like?" question.

Best Tracks: "Bi-Bee", "King Anus III", "Fill Me", "Important Impotence"
