Made In Mexico - Zodiac Zoo CD


Our Price: $11.09 For Sale Usually ships in 1-2 days

Made in Mexico's debut album Zodiac Zoo is the exact antithesis of its mock-pastoral cover photo depicting the bandmembers at leisure with a lovely picnic spread in a garden setting; that is, it's an all-out assault on the senses and sensibilities -- which should come as no surprise to those acquainted with spazz-punk sonic terrorists Arab on Radar, with whom the band shares an affiliation. On the album cover they look like such sweet kids, the kind you'd invite to your pre-teen's birthday party, who would then set up their instruments and proceed to irrevocably damage the innocent attendees' fragile psyches for the rest of their shell-shocked lives. Zodiac Zoo begins with the sound of a stylus hitting a crackly record and an out-of-tune raga on acoustic guitar, a brief lull before the maelstrom hits: pummeling rhythm section straight out of a Jesus Lizard track, stabbing shards of fuzz guitar and incongruously choir-like vocals. And so it continues: vocalist Rebecca Mitchell alternately speak-sings in dry detachment or warbles and shrieks like Diamanda Galás (with Lydia Lunch's range) in a back alley brawl, depending on the vehemence of the moment. The guitar sounds like it's being swung around by its loosened strings, the bass like it's being hit with a rubber mallet, and the drums like they're being used as trampolines by a free jazz maniac attempting the Stooges catalog. And if the above descriptions sound appealing -- and they're not meant to discourage -- then this album will not disappoint. Made in Mexico is a catharsis for misanthropes and stress-cases everywhere, and is guaranteed to rile the savage beast in all of us. ~ Brian Way

Made in Mexico: Rebecca Mitchell (vocals); Jeff Schneider (guitar); Jon Loper (bass guitar); Dare Matheson (drums).

1 star OH MY GOD...
Okay this garbage makes Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica seem like Beethoven, it makes Anal Cunt seem like Journey. When I heard this I wanted to kill the losers who made it. This poor excuse for noise sounds absolutely terrible. Satan taking a sh-it sounds WAY better than this. Don't be fooled by the good reviews, it's probably the jack-offs who made this "music".

1 star Pitiful, horrible, annoying
navigate away from this page NOW! You do not want to hear this garbage, save your money for something else, anything else will be better, the other reviewers who gave this 5 stars, well they are either lying or they are deaf. Take my word for it, these guys should be locked up for putting out this mess.

5 stars Killer cd
Apparently Guitar Hero people don't like it, but the album is killer. If you like Butthole Surfers, and Sonic Youth you will dig this. Unique stuff.

1 star Annoying, and talentless, at best
This is truly the worst band ever, all the instruments sound horrendous, the songs have no structure, and the voice is absolutely terrible. THE worst "music" I have ever heard.
