FX10243:
D.I.Y. P.O.P. E.P.
There are CDs that are good. There are CDs that are almost good. There are CDs that are bad, yet fun to listen to. Then there is the bottom of the barrel: the CDs that are bad, and also horrible to listen to. Well, folks, Ive discovered a category even worse than that one. This is the category resided by the D.I.Y. P.O.P e.p. FX10243 is a perfect example of what happens when you combine an average person with a modicum of musical knowledge with a computer with music creation software. Load up any mediocre first-person-shooter videogame and youll understand FXs sound: monotonous, repetitive, and without an original musical idea in the lot. It doesnt help that FX doesnt have lyrics to go along with the songs, and doesnt even bother to give more imaginative titles than Bleeps3 and newsong7. Each track does not have a real distinguishable start or stop, much less a recognizable melody, or anything that makes it discernible from one of the other 23 tracks. Perhaps this complete disregard for any musical principles could be understood by understanding their slogan, which they love to point out at every possible moment: creating musical terrorism. One can only assume from this that they are attempting to start a musical war, or something or another. I suppose FX would have all music sound like badly synthesized videogame music. This is a cause so insipid that I fear for the mental health of anyone standing behind it. Im sorry, FX, but if you create music that is crap, even if you put a fancy marketing scheme around the crap, it does not change the underlying problem, which is, of course, that you have created crap. Avoid this CD at all costs.
