"this is the most inciteful and emotionally powerful cd ever made. there is nothing but love and good feelings all over this album. the lyrics really made me wanna go out and make a difference in my community. i would've liked to see less love ballads and a little more brutality, but overall, i think there's good moral lessons to be learned on this album that should be taught to children. in fact, i strongly suggest parents make this a staple in their young, developing child's life. i think it's important to teach society about the values espoused by agoraphobic nosebleed. they have shown us through intelligent, insightful, polite, and generally good-natured lyrics that being good to each other is the most important thing we can do with our lives. if i was president i would have everyone locked in a box with just this cd playing over and over for eternity."

"For many years I searched endlessly, high and low, for the most obnoxious, offensive music known to man. Imagine my joy when I discovered this little 20-minute monstrosity. Truly, this album is the Unholy Grail of brutality and offensiveness.

99 tracks that clock in at around 20 minutes? It's even more ludicrous than you can imagine. Basically, each track is a few seconds of full-auto machine gun drums, mindless guitar riffs, bizarre samples and lyrical haikus that see-saw between hilarious and disturbing. Really, the lyrics are the most entertaining element of the album; they are the product of some genuinely deranged imaginations.

Stylistically, the music is a big leap from the stuff they did on "Honky Reduction" and a definite improvement (if you wanna call it that) from their previous "Frozen Corpse..."; the samples and programming are tighter yet the music itself reaches new levels of chaos and unpredictability. This is actually the disc that introduced me to this insane group, as well as grindcore in general, and I've since bought and grown to like their other albums. I'm no expert on grindcore and this may not be the best introduction to the genre, but it certainly got me hooked and it's impossible to ignore once you've experienced it. My only complaint is that this is formatted on a 3-inch mini-disc that doesn't play on car stereo, which is a shame because it seems this would be the perfect music to listen to while committing vehicular manslaughter during rush hour."
