I'm extremely glad I ordered this; it's abrasive, simplistic, annoying and wonderful. I'm referring to the first 9 tracks, "Queen Hygiene II," that way. Those tracks are memorable and get you pumped: it's like Arabian music mixed with alarm clock-esque screeches, repetitive drumming and a lo-fi punk guitar/bass. Bizarre lyrics round it out; five stars!
The second half, Rough Day, just isn't as memorable, but decent; three stars. I dig the first nine tracks so much, though, that Rough Day is like a free bonus to me. If you like abrasive, simplistic, annoying and wonderful music, get this.
