MUMMIES OF THE INSANE: Self-titled: CD

Mar 27, 2007

I’ll bet you these guys smoke a SHITLOAD of marijuana. I wish I was into smokin’ weed—it mighta made listening to this a little less tedious, though it is good for a few laughs. “Civilized Existence” boasts the line “Sit upright, you damn dirty ape!” and “Parasite” sounds like the music to a video game on the technologically cutting-edge Atari 2600. “Fuck Your Mummy,” despite the great title, is little more than R2D2 noises and a rhythm section too fucked up to play together. Lots of needless instrumental farting around, taking their cues from Sebadoh’s Freed Weed but without any of the redeeming indie qualities of that record. Avoid this stinker.
