Foot Village - Rock Is Hell

(Rock is Hell, 2008)

We get a much-improved and totally-focused Foot Village on this single, doing its particular thing MORE faster and MORE furiouser and MORE fucked-up’er than ever – dudes are a PCP-crazed drum corp still willing to make room for the pep squad on the chant-based “Chicken N’ Cheese 2,” and happy to inexplicably toss a little Vanilla Ice (“Ninja Rap”) into “Bones.” “Iceland” is a bit more abstract and “free” than I’d like, but everything else here is absolute wall-shaking head-crush. Proves that a buncha drums and screaming are about all you need in order to make a good record. Oh, and for maximum convenience and obtainability, this one’s available exclusively as an Austrian import in a rumored edition of 167.

I'll, ummm, take your word for that. "Proof" and "good" being words that aren't likely to parse the same for all, I'm thinking.
