MLWTTKK are one of the sleaziest bands ever.Their sound combines cheesy synthesizers, industrial drum machines, roaring guitars, movie samples, throbbing funk-influenced bass lines, distorted vocals and lyrics about sex, drugs and satanism. Sounds fun, huh?

While all these characteristic elements are present on this, their debut, it would take them until their next album to really figure out how to combine them in a truly effective manner. Here, the songs are generally hit and miss, although the beats remain danceable throughout. "Easy Girl" uses a trashy saxophone loop and "And This Is What The Devil Does" makes excellent use of a repeated sample.

Apart from Skinny Puppy, few other bands have done more to pioneer the use of samples from movies and television, and that alone is worthy of recognition. While their later albums would be more coherent, this is decent addition for any fan of the band or the style in general.
