There's dark comedy, then there's derivative, predictable, humour that grew stale back in high school. Meet Superhorrorfuck, they want to be Wednesday 13 and/or Murderdolls, they failed.
The first track or two actually isn't all that bad; punky vocals, catchy chorus' and maybe a catchy riff here & there (and by a catchy riff, I do mean a in the singular sense.) By the 3rd track Living Dead Stars loses all steam. The blatant Wednesday 13 horror-pun knock off attempts fail entirely when you clearly don't have a tenuous grasp on the English language. But who gives a shit about lyrics, right? Well, you will, as the music becomes more forgettable as the album drags on, even more so when it becomes apparent that the whole thing revolves around the vocalist and his shit lyrics. You know it's bad when the most refreshing track on the album is a cover of Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold" (and to answer your question; yes, the original is better.)
Maybe shitting on Living Dead Stars isn't 100% fair, as there are far worse albums out there, and it occasionally has a few redeeming qualities pop up every couple of minutes. Usually each song has a pretty neat riff to listen to until the whole thing just becomes aimless chords to support their cliche image. So there's nothing all that particularly dreadful about it, it's just numbingly unexciting. A lot like a well planned bowel movement in many aspects, actually (slightly less satisfying, mind you).
Definitely worth listening to if you enjoy derivative, pointless noise, as well as music you won't remember the moment it stops playing.
