With the exception of The Aggression and Controlled Bleeding tracks, "Blackout"
has to be the worst compilation I have heard in years. Not only is the quality
of the music less than passable, the production is atrocious, the cliched band
names are hackneyed, and the track titles themselves exhibit a profound degree
of stupidity. Normally, I really enjoy local samplers such as "Boston Elektro
101', but in the case of this Long Island compilation, it is nothing less than
atrocious. To give you an idea of how truly appalling this release is, you
have to go no further than the last track which solely consists of a sampled Porn
with a incredibly unoriginal musical backdrop. The Dystopia One track is
a pathetic tribute to Steve Buscemi, best known for his 'acting' in Fargo and
Reservoir Dogs and the Deep Fried Clams track is practically a backwater country
song. Needless to say, the best place for this compilation is in the discount
bin, so that others might stumble upon it and submit themselves to the painful
audio torture I just experienced. As for the two decent tracks on this
compilation, my suggestion is to buy each bands most recent full length
album instead.
