Review

I’m going to be honest here: I very nearly didn’t review this album once I took a closer look at it. But after a moment I decided to be true to my promise to review all 195 CDs, and decided instead to censor the second album cover of this split album.

I have to be honest and say that I quite liked the music. Not the samples, but just the music itself. Eyetofuk sits in firmly the electrogrind camp, a sub-genre of grindcore that features electronic noises and samples (in this case, obviously, from porn!). Eyetofuk has a industrial thrash-like sound with drum machine. It’s like Ministry or Circle of Dust but with more samples. Putrid Whore, on the other hand sit much closer to the grindcore … well, core (think Napalm Death).

The music aside, I found pretty much everything else about this split release uncomfortable and distasteful.

The cover artwork, song titles (and I can only assume lyrics, given that both are pretty much incomprehensible apart from the samples lifted from, I can only guess, pretty extreme porn flicks) are both misogynistic and really badly spelt.

Both strike me as being the kind of material that teenage boys might dream up while trying to be shocking and adult. I find it disrespectful and unnecessary. There are better ways, in my opinion, to challenge and push boundaries in an artistic way. Grunting about different sick ways to violate women and stigmatise transvestites is not big and it’s not clever. I find it quite pathetic, to be honest.

Conclusion

If I was reviewing this album on just the music (sans samples) then I’d probably give it a 40%.

But regarded in its entirety—music, samples, track titles, (self-censored) artwork, misogyny and spelling—then I’d have to give it big fat 0%.

This could have been so much better. I don’t really care what you sing about, I don’t mind you singing about sex, or porn; I’d even tolerate blasphemy if it was truly what you believed and you were saying something meaningful in the lyrics, but there is absolutely no place in any style of music for this kind of demonstration of how you want to treat women. None!
