Full review

This is the first album from cKy (Camp Kill Yourself), a band best described as 'Heavy Techno Punk' due to the fact they produce music similar to the genres of 'heavy metal' and 'punk' (similar to the work of 'Turbonegro') but with electronic effects.
The album, volume 1, has 9 tracks-
1- 96 Quite Bitter Beings (featured on THPS3- xbox, ps2)
2- Rio Bravo
3- Disengage The Simulator
4- Human Drive In Hi-Fi
5- Lost In A Contraption
6- Knee Deep
7- My Promiscuous Daughter
8- Sara's Mask
9- To All Of You (23mins42secs long-with a bonus track at the end)
Arguably, track 1 (96 Quite Bitter Beings) is their most famous and popular, this applies to me, however, it was the drummer Jess Margera's brother Bam who made them more widely known.
The band is made up from Deron Miller (Guitars, Vocals and Bass), Jess Margera (Drums), Chad Ginsburg (Guitars) and the album is produced, recorded and mixed by all 3 of them.
In my opinion this is an exceptional album with tracks that are still staple for their live shows today, there is some excellent sounds produced and mixed with Deron Millers complementing and gentle lyrics. This would be a great addition to anyones cd collection and definatly worth a try. 8.5/10
