Former Kung Fu Grip singer Mark Fletcher sings like Scott Stapp with a rhythm jones in "Too Drunk to Funk," a catchy but tinny tune that sounds like a badly mixed early Red Hot Chili Peppers song, down to the wok-wok guitar and slappy bass. Straight low-octane rawk, "Post Traumatic Drama Syndrome" is the disc's highlight, all big guitar poses and squealing leads. The intentionally (we hope) way-off-key "Lost My Love" proves that ironic ballads are even worse than sincere ones, and the four and a half minutes of whistling, strumming, and clangy harmonizing suddenly end in a thrashing drum fit. A Porno Holocaust might make for a fun live show, but this disc doesn't go anywhere.
