Couldn't agree more. Fucking ridiculous. If a newbie to techno/rave saw this cover, all his/her misconceptions about excesses of the culture would be validated. I reviewed this for a radio station, and even though the music was emotional and serious, the cover kept popping into my head. Ack. I would agree also that the short tracks should have been longer, while some of the long tracks should have been shorter. I would give it a lesser score, somewhere around 5 or 6. Kevin
