It's accepted by most Historians that the death of Modernism was when someone flicked the switch on the gas chambers at Auschwitz, using logic and calculations to justify one of the worst human atrocities of the 20th century. It's rather fitting that a German-originated band would also symbolically cause the death of Post-Modernism with this turd of Triple-layered irony.

This record sounds like someone took a bunch of Tone Loc b-sides, put them through a classic rock filter on Garage-Band, then overdubbed the vocals with the guy from Wheatus. This may seem unlikely, but if you're ever unlucky enough to hear it, I'm positive you'll agree. Signing this band would've been similar to betting on a tumour to kill a guy. It's good odds but terrible musical karma.
