I Like It When You Die

A.C.

Earache Records, 1997

REVIEW BY: Paul Hanson

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 04/25/1998

It's all in the title. A.C.'s 1997 release I Like it When You Die contains 52 songs. Yes, 52 songs andthe total run time is less than 45 minutes. A.C. is theabbreviation for the name of this band, Anal Cunt. Their soundteeters between death metal and crap.

I could pull the spin that this is a band of talented overlookedmusicians that are merely rebelling against the mainstream musicworld. Or maybe that the members came from broken families andcreating this style was the only way they could survive in thisworld. Or that this is the genre that mainstream media will gobbleup them up like Hanson and soon you'll hear cuss words in everymainstream song.

No, I don't have any more of what I've been drinking.

And I'd be lying if I said I think the "next" Neil Peart isplaying drums or the "next" Eddie Van Halen is playing the guitar.Certainly, it's no Robert Plant or Eddie Vedder singing.
