You can just tell by the cover that it's some kind of funk metal ulcer in the mouth of the metal genre. Silly, tomfoolery of the highest order, wrapped up like bubblegum which came free with a novelty sticker or card. This is just more of that vomit-inducing stupidity that reeks of awkwardness. White Trash have the horns, the jingle-jangle funk riffs, and the irritating vocals which on this occasion do sound all too feminine, bringing to mind that US high school irritation which Ugly Kid Joe brought to the table around 1992. 'Apple Pie' (yawn!) must've had Fishbone squirming in their seats and 'The Crawl' is predictably foul. So disposable and bereft of sound, the whole funk trend a mish-mash of average bands trying to be weird - pull a few faces, have a stooooopid album cover, and throw in a few bass slaps - but it's not what makes a good record, as can be heard here. Pass the sick bucket and turn it into an album cover.
4/10
