01. 110 Songs
Well, here we are, after a 7 year long hiatus caused by Seth Putnam's drug-induced coma, we are finally given the opportunity to subject ourselves to some more of the sonic torture that is Anal Cunt. "110 Song CD" is the new EP from this notorious band and to make things more interesting, it is recorded by the original lineup of Seth Putnam, Mike Mahan and Tim Morse.
For the majority of Anal Cunt's existence, the band treated us to barrages of short blurcore songs with funny lyrics. Nevertheless, what they offered in their formative years was completely anti-musical white noise intended to be as extreme as possible. It is therefore no surprise that the original lineup go back to this approach on "110 Song CD". Essentially, this album sounds like a vomiting gorilla trying to balance on an electric drill. Or maybe like sticking a microphone into the dental cavity of a bear receiving a root canal. Needless to say, this is pure chaos. Totally random screams, yelps and passages. Extreme metal in the forms of death metal, grindcore and black metal all favor highly unpredictable song structures. Well, Anal Cunt simply has no song structures. In other words, the band takes absolutely everything to the extreme here. The result might not be as surprisingly coherent and filled with memorable riffs as, say, "Morbid Florist"; however, it is certainly more intense. In fact, it is safe to say that "110 Song CD" is the most extreme album Anal Cunt ever recorded. Now then, it might not be exactly appropriate to call this kind of music avant garde; however, this is certainly one of the few unique bands willing to rape music as much as it does, along with the likes of Whitehouse, Masonna or pure free jazz.
Doesn't it stand to reason that if one is to take stupidity to such bombastic extremes it would be possible to cross over the line of what stupidity represents? Well, in this light, Anal Cunt is genius.

Great Review... It pretty much sums up everything I think about this band. Specially the line about Anal Cunt being one of the few bands that dare to "rape" music. They are indeed genius in their own way. I like this kind of music actually.

It's pretty basic though. Just their logo with the title scrawled under it on a white background. It would've taken five seconds to make.

Oh. Embarrassing. I'm not familiar with the band so if it's just their logo then: best logo ever  Hehe I'm a sucker for clever stuff like that, stuff you don't quite notice at first glance.

Written by [user id=160] on 31.03.2009 at 02:25 lol. Agreed, what other reason would there be to pay attention to the band? Maybe I'm just a pussy but I find Anal Cunt to be pointless shit.

Anal Cunt???????????????Are we serious?????????????they are not genius. By all means NO..they are fun for 2 or 3 songs but that's it...because they use instruments it does NOT mean that they play music. Grind has some serious bands out there not these guys here.. they are simply a joke..a BAD one...AND DON'T EVEN COMPARE FREE JAZZ WITH THAT NOISE HERE. Ok being open-minded is cool but that does not mean we must except everything that is different and rapes endlessly music. And don't start saying that via music they express their feelings or whatever because they are far from being called that. PEACE.. PS: If i didn't catch any humorous vibes excuse me (i've laughed my ass out with the song "I just saw the gayest guy on earth") but i don't think this is funny anymore (especially paying to buy this thing)

Written by ioannisk on 31.03.2009 at 21:21 Meh... I think more than 75% of the people who likes this band acutally think the same thing that you wrote. Is stupid music/noise, and when those people are in the mood, it's great. It's like when you're up at 4 AM and you're doing nothing and you're so bored that you think everything on the tv is brilliant because at that time your brain isn't working. That's when I listen to Anal Cunt. Now I don't want to get to a pointless discussion about what's noise and what's music because that's a VERY subjective matter Sooo... peace... mmmmmk?

Written by X-Ray Rod on 31.03.2009 at 21:45 I TOTALLY agree that what's music or what's good or bad in music is very subjective (For example we accept maria kalas as a great singer but i can't listen to her for more than 5 minutes, or for me death vocals are great but i don't think that can be seen as music despite the fact that nowadays there are teachers who teach this type of singing..) Anyway this conversation is endless but i simply express my opinion (besides if we all agreed what would be the point of dialogue??). no hard feelings!!! See ya!!! PS Southpark rules....and mrMakey of course..

Anal Cunts completely improvised stuff seems pointless to me. It seemed so worthless but it apparently has a cult following. Their later stuff with some structure was ok. Let's have a Sore Throat review seeing as their albums were good. A mix of chaotic, semi-improvised stuff and sloppy grindcore. It's actually so much better than this description gives it credit.

Fucking random noise with sounds of animals being slaughtered taking place of vocals. There's no word to tell how shitty this garbage is. Genius??? Don't make me laugh. It's pure mental debility, nothing more. Retarded band name, retarded cover, retarded noise, etc, etc, etc... When humans lower themselves to the level of an animal so degenerate he got rejected by its own brethren. I'm a fan of extreme music but it doesn't mean I can accept everything only because it is labeled as extreme music. And this ludicrous pile of shit is not music. Only unlistenable random noise. Utter crap.

You guys are missing the point. Anal Cunt are a joke band, they sing about intentionally super offensive themes to such a degree that it becomes ridiculous. Instrumentals are mixed, but generally anti-music.

Written by vezzy on 17.08.2010 at 11:36 For one, Anal Cunt aren't death metal. And Im sure lots of hardened death metal fans feel the same way about them. Try harder next time. lol

Written by Angelic Storm on 17.08.2010 at 12:03 They aren't, no. I meant with those "death metal hardened" ears, they should be listenable without twitching. They are, for me, anyway.

Written by Angelic Storm on 17.08.2010 at 12:06 The only song I really enjoy from them is "Chris Barnes Is A Pussy". I don't know why, I have nothing against the man, in fact I feel bad how he totally screwed himself over with Six Feet Under, especially from Bringer of Blood to Commandment.
