Men's Recovery Project
Best Of Men's Recovery Project
5RC
Grating electronic art rock. Crude musically. Often crude subject matter. Super demented. Cutting, Brash, and frequently bizarre. Punkish irreverence, touching on subjects ranging from our iraqi debacle to "get your dick out of my food" to the surreal. Vocals range from early 80s hardcore screaming to tweaked computer voices. The lyrics to the songs are more often than not just the song titles repeated. Definitely a bad dream; music to subject yourself + your friends to, not music to "enjoy". Formed in 1993, (now defunct?) MRP is a duo (ex -Born Against Sam McPheeters, and Neil Burke). This is a Greatest Hits collection. Has material from latest "bolides over basra". In short shitty synths, shitty guitar, shitty drums, and shitty robot voices = sick nightmares for josh.
**1. catchy (relatively)". instrumental. 1:44
**2. fast. distorted voice. instruemental 1:36
**3. fast. "stubble on the chin of a vicious brute" repeated 2:14
**4. FCC "fuck" lots of crazy sampled voices and sounds. 1:21
*5. black flag vocals over spare synth"sexual pervert" on a bus "trying to get off" 0:59
**6. pounding four on the floor. bad guitars. vocals sound like day-glo abortions narrating about unhappy people 1:53
**7. fast beat with sterile synth 0:49
**8. FCC indecent. Lots of "fucks". Clip of breaking glass bottle, then hard beat you could imagine el-p making. 1:27
*9. more "listenable" beat with narrator on woman who's man disappears.2:12
*10. weird phone message, then scary beat, noises, and voices 2:08
11. screamed punk voice 0:47
***12. can't do this justice. 0:32
*13. instrumental. stabbing synth noises. howling wolf 2:10
14. "i saw you in the parking lot" 0:30
*15. robot voice says "egyptian assassin" over middle-easterny beat. 3:02
*16. very much hardcore punk. not like other songs really 2:26
*17. hardcore lyric delivery and weird beastie boys voice 2:29
**18. as per title samples of "man urinating, laughter" 0:25
*19. back to no-wave sound. political dissatisfaction if only could make out lyrics 0:59
**20. pac-man sample, punk beat, lots of screaming "the mayor is a robot!" 0:52
21. sparser. "shouts of men's recovery" 1:18
***22. FCC indecent "fuck" computer voices uncomfortable office situation 0:40
*23. FCC "dick" (unintelligible) space noises, sparse grindcore drum beat but without bass or guitars "get your dick out of my food" (it tastes bad) 1:48
24. unintelligible lyrics, rock beat 0:26
*25. synth beat, alien refusing to have people eradicated. "i am a thousand yr. old frozen head, and i DEMAND to be thawed" 1:27
26. synth/organ runs. machine gun snare, theremin sound-a-like. instr. 0:56
**27. buzzing synth. trash can cymbal. low distorted voice 1:12
***28. first 3 seconds could be a C-BO song. narrative about a fully sentient couch 2:39
**29. almost an awful early 90s slow motion west coast gangsta rap beat. more demented vocals 1:49
*30. "manhole" with many different emotional intonations 1:42
***31. unclear exactly what this skit is about, but take a listen 0:23
32. really annoying beat. 0:31
***33. trundling timpani, screaming, synth bleeps, ends with elephant cry 0:30
**34. a kid's sing-a-long beat gone wrong + thereminy noises 1:52
***35. FCC "asshole", again unclear what is going on, but there is frantic yelling and ordering. 0:27
*36. similar in narrative tone to 28. about a dead body 2:08
**37. FCC indecent "fuck it", "fuckin sausages". There is harmony! 2:20
**38. vocal samples, and many different characters talking over beat... more goofy than eerily bizarre.2:52
***39. slow lugubrious instr. with weird sounds esp. towards end 3:53
***40. Great samples of distorted classical music! 1:43
