What part didn't you like - the fat people fucking, the ridiculous rounding up of gingers, killing of said gingers, or the Rage Against the Machine song?

It's a Suicide song, just FYI.

I mean it's not, but it's built on a sample of "Ghost Rider".

I still don't think I like it. And I don't really like Suicide, either.

barker sold this thing as "B-R-U-T-A-L. Super violent and graphic", when he should have said "wait 8 dull minutes and then one kid gets all blowed up".

It was hard to catch the suicide stuff with all of the American Big Brother Ethnic Cleansing stuff going on in the video.

So you liked watching the fat people fuck. I that part was the most B-R-U-T-A-L.

Exploding Gingers were a little better because they deployed the build-and-burst tempos of 90s house and techno music, and they did so explicitly, never shying away from arms-in-the-air piano bridges or incandescent raves

I'll never understand the reverence for this band, and I love plenty of pretentious art rock from the late '70s.

The fact that someone can basically cover them nearly thirty-five years later and have it sound modern says something I think. Or maybe it just says something about the (lack of) progression of music in general. I don't like much pretentious art-rock from the 70s but I do like Suicide.

Well the "sounding modern" part just comes from modern production & added percussion. Really just about any cover song can be made to sound modern that way. Maybe not something off of Dust Bowl Ballads or some '20s ragtime, but you get my point. You could make just about any Partridge Family song "sound modern" if you were so inclined.

With so many actual cases of American brutality too choose from why invent a massacre of gingers. I mean at least pick a group that are sympathetic.

I sympathize greatly with gingers. I'm not one, but I feel a kinship.

I'm just slightly weirded out by the ones with the really pale skin and tons of freckles.

No, there are different degrees of it. I hate to use such an obvious example, but...
