Ok, Viva Mexico and all, I'm proud of my country and I love my metal scene and I sing my anthem proudly when I have to and etc. but this band is just a disgrace to both my country and the metal scene. Yes the riffing is mainly Grindcore/Porn, you know? That catchy stuff mixed with brutality, but this time C.A.R.N.E. just did an awful job, the tracks are just upside down and without any logical structure.

I know Porngrind is most times like clean water, odorless, flavorless, and colorless, but this is just an insult to Grindcore fanatics like me. The music is flat like an empty desk, the band tries sometimes to spice things up with a couple of breakdowns ala Disgorge, but this just make them sound more illogical and irrational, I don't know what this guys were thinking when writing this songs, my guess is porn or at least naked chicks.

I have to admit something, the music is catchy as cat fur, but the catchiness becomes useless when the structure is this hideous, and then we hear the awful "1 buck" production and everything just gets worse, the mastering, mixing and all that stuff is just incredibly dirty and fuzzy, the backgrounds are impossible to hear and even the audio-clips are louder than the music, so this band failed even in that matter.

The musical execution is really simple; the formula is more o less the following: pornclip+power-chords+ridiculous vocalizations+catchy drum-beats = average C.A.R.N.E song. So I'll sum things up for you, this album sounds exactly like this: bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz *catchy riff* grurrrhhhhhggg *another catchy riff* aaaargh *"oh my god, your penis feels good in my mouth" audio-clip* bzzzzzzzzgruarggrruarg*song ends*. I really think nobody should own this CD; it's just too damn boring, they don't even have lyrics damn it.

If you are into Porngrind, Grindcore, or similar genres you'll despise this album after listening to it, if you're into melodic forms of metal you'll hear maybe the first 3 minutes of one song then you'll probably break this CD in half, and if you are into boring/useless/stupid/ridiculous/boring/boring again then you will love this piece.

Avoid It If You Like: "Cock and Ball Torture", "Torsofuck", "Bathtub Shitter" and good Porngrind bands in general.
