I’m not sure what surprises me more. The fact that this artist was able to discover the sound of screaming hot aggressive gonorrhea being poured into your ears, then record it and release it as an album, or that someone heard this cacophony of horrible noise and decided it belonged on this list for other people to be tortured by. I would rate -5 stars if possible as I feel I am owed them back for having been subjected to this caterwauling
