MICHAEL PSYCHO
Never (Black Hole)

This was so amazingly horrible my ears bled. What’s shocking is that somebody at a label actually sat through this entire thing (without a pistol in their mouth), and then said 'Yeah, I’ll put thousands of my company’s hard-earned dollars into reproducing and distributing this! No problem!' Michael Psycho starts this magnum opus off with a pointless intro called "The Day I Failed The Majors," and goes straight into your favorite 1 a.m. bar rawk, with drum machines so sloppy, and poorly played they could only remain humorous if they were done by the Boredoms, Half Japanese, Wesley Willis, or someone else 'uniquely bizarre' so I knew it was intentional. I laughed so hard listening to this I choked on my dinner, and almost barfed on the cat.

He actually has the audacity to brag in the lil’ clipping sent with this disc/frisbee, to boast about it being 'completely recorded, produced, written, performed, mixed, mastered, planned, funded, and pimped and pandered by Michael Psycho'. He also wastes paper with his boring philosophy about why music sucks nowadays (zzz). Here’s an idea: keep that job at the paint store, dude! Instead of shelling out ca$h for your fruitless little hobby, finish getting your mini-truck customized! He flips me off from the cover of the cd/projectile. Such a rebel! I’ll bet Mr. And Mrs. Psycho (What’s that, French?) are beaming.
