The whole disc kind of reminds me of the movie Funny Games, I think they both have that morbidity and sickness that the world likes so much but never would entirely accept. I can vividly remember the scene when the killers are just sitting on the sofa and talking to each other and to their soon-to-be-victims when suddenly one of the victims injures the weaker killer and the other begins to talk to the audience and ask if they want to continue to see the movie or just end it with a happy ending. You really have to see that movie to understand how obvious it is to you that you will continue to watch the movie no matter what. I believe everybody enjoys another human being's pain, you can say it's in our nature. We want to look at gore pictures and comment how twisted the poor bastard's head is because it is funny, or also feel sorry and then forget all about the old man in a crappy "Nursing Home."
I think this disc expresses almost everything that's wrong with society, but again, there are so few that really care that it just helps you to go on with it and accept the reality. At least that's the hidden message that I get when I'm listening to it, it's like the thrash metal band Cerebral Fix's debut album: Life Sucks...And Then You Die!
If you have the opportunity, then buy this disc, it will serve you well at times of frustration. You know that the world sucks, that's when bands like this one come in handy.
