The Best Of Jim Stiene:

By Greil Marcus:

It is said that when the allied troops entered German concentration camps at the end of the war they were horrified by what they witnessed. They couldn't believe the senselessness depravity man was capable of.

That's the first impression I got from listening to this CD. After repeated listens, I realized I was being too generous.

Some albums are ill conceived. Others are poorly executed. This one manages to be both. A horrible, horrible collection of mindless, tuneless nonsense stretching for over 70 minutes, if the listener doesn't lose his grip on reality or end his life before then.

If there is one album I would advise you to skip, it would be this one. Shameless, unoriginal and moronic, it is truly a terrrible album. If you buy this CD, you don't even deserve to live. I'm sorry. That's just how I feel.
