“The Curse” is aptly named. It describes 75 percent of this CD’s lyrics and pretty much sums up the way I felt after listening to it. I’m giving it the tag line: Music for misogynists who like their women to degrade themselves so they don’t have to.

I can’t find anything to recommend to listeners on this CD, unless you’re actually looking for something that makes the worst of Eminem and Lords of Acid sound tasteful and refined. I’m an LoF fan and they certainly tread the line, but as far as Stark goes I must quote the always point-on Marge Simpson, “You not only crossed the line, you threw up on it.”

The main point of the CD is apparently to list all the sexual positions known to humankind and every English synonym for male genitalia and those prostitutes who don’t make much folding money.

The anthem on “The Curse” seems to be “White Trash R&R Diva.” As if. Stark has a huge divide to cross before reaching trash status, much less the sleaziest derivation of the word “diva.”

I’m sad that singer/song writer Lani Ford wrote the majority of the most-vile lyrics for herself. It’s sad to me that this is her dream. I think she sold too much to get herself on this little disc. But that’s just my two cents. You can spend yours wherever you want, but I suggest you spend it elsewhere.
