Easy Listening for Difficult Fuckheads
Pigface
Underground Inc.
A mixed bag from the multi-star-spangled juggernaut that Martin Atkins calls Pigface.
I don't know what to make of an album that tells me to “fuck conformity, fuck the mainstream” but then contains some of the most ready for Clearchannel Nu-Rock spuzz (Blow You Away, Bitch, King of Negativity) and formulaic quirky Goth-girl pop (Sweetmeat) imaginable. It does feature a cool version of Delta 5's Mind Your Own Business, a weird turn by KMFDM's En Esch and a dreamy track from My Life's Groovie Mann (Closer to Heaven), which is heads above anything Thrill Kill's done in a long time. Chris Connely makes an appearance on Miss Sway Action, a floating, Berlin period-Bowie-esque tune. Add to that a calculated faux rant piece by Penn Jillette as the closer, that is sure to only shock/annoy/entertain those who didn't hear it coming.
