“This band is sick bro, they are all about the mosh and weed!” I found this on some random board discussing the band in general. Please... someone shoot me now.
Dr. Acula is labeled as a party-core band, whatever the hell that means. They are a horrible mix of Arsonists Get All the Girls and Killwhitneydead. You have the samples of Killwhitneydead and the gross amount of technical guitar that is usually found on any given AGATG album. I enjoyed, I think, only one AGATG song and it wasn’t even very good. Dr. Acula play a very immature type of grind music. There are the typical low growls coupled with high shrieks. I know there is not much room for original vocals but one can only tolerate so much of the same thing over and over again.
I have to be honest, I will only stand for so many movie clips interspersed amongst an album's songs. Though they are clever at times, come on, how many bands have used a Family Guy quote already? Unfortunately Dr. Acula have exhausted any amount of humor they may have had with this album. The majority of the songs are very straightforward, so don’t expect to find anything new or original on this record. But then again, that is not the goal of this record; it's to paaaaaarty!
I am not really going to waste any more words describing this short and utterly tiresome record. If you like to party and mosh it up with your bros, then my friend this record is for you. Maybe I have grown too old to appreciate this type of music. I heard Dr. Acula way back when and thought they were interesting but nothing too special. I was actually interested in listening to their new album since I haven’t really kept up to date with their material. I know they are a band based on humor, but when the talent and originality is lacking, humor should not be your safety net. I am going to go eat some prunes and listen to the new Converge CD.

It might be, but that's like saying having mushy poop that requires a few extra wipes is slightly better than ass burning diahrea.
