This is the 1st PxDx cd ive purchased, and i think its great. sure its only 19 minutes but it does the job and feels like more. the dwarves, stooges, and helmet covers are awesome, i'd even say their version of "meantime" is better than the original. one beef i have with this is the vocal quality. jr hayes writes some amazing lyrics and can actually sing but on a lot of tracks he's very distorted. scott hull is such an amazing guitarist, you don't even care that these guys don't have a bass player. if you already own the splits these songs are on its still worth buying for the extra tracks and the live footage on the enhanced portion, in which during one song jr actually breaks the mic but keeps screaming without it, making little difference. pretty amusing, lots of goodies here and definitely worth the money. made me a fan.

Be fooled not by impotent reviews, if you like Pig Destroyer or grindcore you should like this. The album is actually titled "Painter of dead girls" (I got my copy from verydistro.com, I recommend all music purchases be from this site, they have a massive variety of heavy music to choose from-hxc, metalcore, metal, punk, grind, etc.- and are as cheap as anywhere else plus they usually send sample CD's, stickers, mags, or whatever else). First of all, anyone seriously into grind or Pig Destroyer knows quality is always before quantity and, in this case, you can count on quality. The running time might not be that long but it's still good. If you know Pig Destroyer then you know what to expect: wicked screams, brutal riffs, sick drumming, JR's insane lyrics (given there are only lyrics available for about half of the tracks), and substantial ammounts of grind. All of these are present, as well as a nice cover of Helmet's "In the mean time". The only element listeners might find reduces this album is it's sound quality. However, it's not bad. If you are a fan of the genre then you know you appreciate the music not because it's attractive. This CD is raw Pig Destroyer, not pretty and fixed up but delivered straight brutal and insane. This ones for the fans. If you cant appreciate it, you aint no f**king fan. Pig Destroyer are among the elite of todays extreme music makers.

I can see where some may not like this album due to the quality...but like me if your a huge fan of PxDx then, then you know you have to get this. There are some great songs on here from some splits and some good cover songs. Also if your buying this also buy 38 counts of battery!

This was the fourth PxDx album I bought, after 'Terrifyer', 'Prowler in the Yard', and 'Phantom Limb'. As I stated in the review title, the quality of the recordings isn't quite what I expected, even from grindcore, but I like the album anyway. The covers are pretty good and all in all the album is not bad. If you're into Pig Destroyer, get this record.

Not too bad. If you like this kind of music you may like this CD.
