Gortician represents all that is wrong about MP3.com. They are an amateurish band playing fast death/grind metal with slower Candlemass-y doom moments. The "production" on this awful collection of live segments apparently recorded in various places is the worst I have ever heard. Nevertheless, the speaker-shattering boominess of certain tracks and the abominable sizzle of others still make it quite apparent that the songs themselves are the aural equivalent of a long-neglected litter pan, and that they certainly would not benefit from better recording conditions. Sub-bootleg sound is sometimes tolerable when the material is interesting, but this is clearly not the case.

This atrocious album is so bad I wouldn't dare to use the CD as a coaster lest it knock my glass over.
