(Independent, 2002)

This has got to be one of the worst CDs I have ever received from any band since we started doing CoC almost seven years ago. I'm serious, folks! This fucking bites! I can look past what some might see as an offensive name (obviously Abortion Clinic is out to shock) -- but the music? Pathetic! From the ridiculous opener "Euthanasia" onto the stupidly penned "Anal Vapor" ("...heading to the toilet / I think I got to wipe / I bet that one left a racing stripe...") and other lame numbers like "Eat the Dead" and "Camelot" (about the famous Kennedy family), Abortion Clinic just goes down the drain wickedly fast. Oh man, it was torture to sit through this. The music is generic heavy metal and the vocals are more spoken/sung than actually sung and that gets quite annoying after a while. As for the lyrics, don't get me started. The snippet above should give you an idea what lies heard should you put this shit album on. I think this was supposed to be a joke, but when the music of Abortion Clinic makes bands like Gwar and Gardy-Loo look like technical metal geniuses, then the joke is on them.
