Whitehouse are spot on, the best of Merzbow the same[though everyones idea of his best seems to be different], heard a couple of CCCC albums that are great.
Also Dog3000 is right, there is a slew of underground releases that cover a bit of everything, people who have grown up listening to Slayer,The VU,Dub,Mozart,Bubblegum,Madonna & Sonic Youth and want to play it all at the same time, sometimes it works, a lot of the time it's horrible.
I have to say that this sounds horrible, largely. If today's revolution is to reduce everything that's ever been recorded into a single melange, I'm not sure I want any truck with it, sadly. Although possibly if the reference points of Motley Crue and Slayer were removed I might feel more positive.
I'm off to dig out some Everly Brothers records. :-)
