If I were a more generous soul, I might describe this album as bad; being an honest so-and-so, I have to admit that it is almost obscenely awful.

When I first saw it, I wondered why the artists remained anonymous. Now I understand. The arrangements are unimaginative, the vocals are trite, there is no soul in it anywhere. One to avoid.

But even this dire disaster has its fans; "Death Eternal" wrote: "I have an original cassette tape version - it made the years of my life since I found it"

The world would be a boring place if we all agreed; and even more boring if we all had good taste!


Original release 1999
