Bastard Art - Sex Gang Children

Advantages: Whole Album is GREAT!
Disadvantages: none @ all

...A great album, dull of dum lyrics and sex crazed songs this is an album that ur parents MUST NOT borrow! my parents heard it and snapped the tape, the varied use of vocal chords give the songs that "bad touch" this is a great album. It has a variation of pop songs, rock and alternitive songs make this album something fun to listen to, perhaps a good party album. This album has hit The Bad Touch on and The Ballad of Chasey Lain.
