Review by Shadowdoom9 (Andi) for Dead World - This Will Hurt Someone (1994)

The title of this EP and its title track reference the suicide of R. Budd Dwyer during a live press conference. He pulled out a gun from a manila envelope, and when people tried to stop him, he shouted "Don't, don't, don't, this will hurt someone!" and shot himself dead. Needless to say, that tragic event would later be depicted in the cover art of 1994 vinyl re-release of Neurosis' Pain of Mind and the original edition of CKY Volume 1.

Those samples aside, this EP is not really worth it. Most of the tracks have poor structure and rely too much on samples. The only good track is the radio edit of "The Machine" from its eponymous 1993 album, though obviously I still prefer the 8-minute original. Generally I'm only checking out this EP to complete my Dead World journey, and this is exactly how I wanted to end that journey, but there's nothing else left. Never before had I rated an industrial metal release this low, but that's all this f***ing sh*tter can get. At least the band had done their sound much better in their full albums....

Favorites (only song I even slightly like): "The Machine" (radio edit)
