Good Points: Supposedly the bible of this style of punk/grindcore rock. 42 tracks of fast paced immature madness that are totaly politically incorrect.
Bad Points: Can be found as mundane, repetative, pointless, untalented, dull rubbish.
General comments: A.C., 40 More Reasons To Hate Us - May of 1994 saw the Earache release of A**l C**t's debut full length album "Everyone Should Be Killed". The fifty-eight track, hate-filled offering displayed what the band is all about - fast, furious tracks filled with stupid, immature lyrics that are meant to offened and be completely politically incorrect. Each track lasted no more than one minute bringing the entire CD length just under an hour. The mainstream music press immediately denounced the band and their debut release. They passed ther release off as a joke, branding the band as the most offensive group to ever get a record deal. The rest of the media (mostly made up of underground zines and the like) showered the release with praise, comparing it to the work of the deceased punk legend G.G. Allin.
The following March of 1995 saw the release of the group's "Top 40 Hits" full-length album and the "Stayin' Alive" 7 inch vinyl. By now the band's reputation was immense, with a huge underground cult following creating havoc at every gig and opportunity.
One year later, the band released what is now thought of as their 'masterwork', the 42 track album "40 More Reasons To Hate Us". The band homed in on their rather immature and controversial humour and toned down their musical noise level. What was left was this fast-paced, hardcore punk/grind album with no holds barred.
Here is the rather epic track listing:

Luckily the band don't take themselves too seriously. The three-piece manage to blast out a constant barrage, with the vast majority of the lyrics by vocalist Seth Putnam being undistinguishable. If given the chance (the tracks are mostly too damn short), guitarist Scott Hull does produce some catchy, classic grindcore guitar riffs.
All in all, if you like this sort of thing then this album is supposed to be one of the best for this genre. Myself, I find it all rather dull and repetitive. I could imagine that it could be a bit of a laugh to see the band live, but listening to the album at home just shows how dull it all is. I must say that I did find the rather immature ditty "I Just Saw The Gayest Guy On Earth" quite amusing.
The band later went on to release the albums "I Like It When You Die" in 1997 and "It Just Gets Worse" in 1999.
