Review Summary: A Nauseating Absence Of Artistic Value, Stinky Smelly Turd.

When I first turned on Tight, I was expecting a bad product but I went into the experience with the mindset to enjoy something different. I cleared my head of everything I knew about MSI. All the horrible, horrible things. Then I pressed play. That was a BIG mistake. I smell it, I smell it right away. It's a big ol' dirty diaper in your garbage just siting there mocking you because you're too lazy to take out the trash. All the while your siblings are poking you in the most obnoxious manner so aggressively that your body is starting to hemorrhage. Okay, maybe it's not that bad.

That's not to say it's good, though. As soon as I turn on the album I'm greeted by a speech sample. "Oh god, it's one of THOSE albums" I thought to myself. "It's a very little penis and I'm very happy to say it's a
little penis come to visit you today". I smile, "Okay, that's actually pretty funny". Then the music starts. I can hear the static around the sampled kicks, high hats, and synthesizers. That's when I found myself laughing out loud at the downright awful production of this piece of bile.

Now, I'm not against sampling but I can't tell you that ANY of the electronics on this album are originals. For an album that is 90% electronics, 10% Blood Brothers esque vocals with lyrics such as "Na Na Na I was so small and you tried to take it, to take it but now I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow" that's just downright pathetic. Oh, and please don't ask me about the satire songs on this album. I won't ever stop preaching the irony.

As for the actual artistic integrity found on this album, there isn't any. Wrap up the 90's rave scene with a Marilyn Manson album, and some slight Atari Teenage Riot influences into a nauseating package called MSI. The composing is mediocre, and the amount of sampled bridges is ridiculous. Not only have they successfully succeeded in the absence of production, but the absence of writing. I'm sure if I got some real artists on the phone I could confirm that this album is 100% plagiarized, but I don't have the hook ups. You'll just have to take my word.

The only reason I'm giving this a 1.5 is because after listening to this album in it's entirety three times, I'm starting to find it slightly catchy. Now I take off my headphones, and end this review before I go crazy. Save yourself your sanity, and don't pick this up. Don't even download it. Stay away.

Really? I love this album (as you can see) and I typically don't like this genre. And I gave this a 5 personally because I associate this with my entire freshman year of college (I'm old). Not a bad review though, just don't agree.

Remember my Jane Doe review? Most of the pos' I got for that were just because I was going in against the grain.

You can expect better reviews on their way. This was just my first effort of actually sitting down with an album, and writing my thoughts/feelings about it. They will likely be in a similar vein so if you don't have a sense of humor, you won't appreciate them.



I'm with all of you, though. I don't know how the Mods let this pass.

Thing is it wasn't in the least bit funny.
