PAIN TOLERANCE
"A
Momentary Act of Disclosure" (Self-produced; 2004)
Reviewed by Snidermann
I listen to music to relieve, escape or at least temporarily put off depression. That being said, I understand exploring the dark side, too. But with "A Momentary Act of Disclosure" I found myself being lured deeply and directly into a depressive episode - someplace I did not want to go.
The music and vocals here wallow in self-absorbed tales of darkness that certainly did nothing to make me feel better and weren't fun to explore in any sense. I found the entire presentation obtuse and dismal to the point of no return.
My only act of disclosure after listening to this CD is to tell you what I think it is: bleakly depressing and ultimately pointless. And my pain tolerance was put to the test while trudging through this CD.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
