Taint “Sex Sick” CD on The Ajna Offensive
A fan review December 2007
There are very few bands out there that are able to communicate their content through sound like Taint. “Sex Sick” is the sound of disgusting reality – a depressing reality many don’t ever see or want to see. While listening to “Sex Sick,” I envision the hooker in the hospital waiting room waiting for her AIDS test and wondering if she can continue working to feed her three kids or the sight of a woman closing their eyes tightly trying to forget what is happening to them in the back of a john’s car right around the corner from where she grew up. I hear the sound of grunts and squeals from people who get turned on about the uncertainty of their partner’s STD status and the sound of crying coming from the next room where her child waits. Just when you find yourself in an uncomfortable place, you’re forcefully pulled back into your seat by ear-piercing feedback, low-end noise and a voice narrating the scene. This record is ugly and full of vile feedback. There is something perverted and disgusting about the squealing feedback. The overall sound is relentless and completely devoid of fanciness or professional studio treatments in keeping with the grittiness of early Whitehouse and Broken Flag releases. It is a sound only Taint can create with the use of the most ugly, deformed, mean-spirited noise imaginable, which compliments the subject matter, samples and vocals perfectly. The sound varies, but Taint doesn’t bring in a single sound that could be considered neat or cool. Every sound is chosen for its brutal atmosphere. Taint uses a lot of tortured feedback accompanied by well placed, low-end and mid-range noise. The album does not lack in diversity as each track has its own personality. It’s very difficult to listen to “Sex Sick” without your imagination wandering into the streets and bedrooms of people you wish didn’t exist. Unlike other Taint albums, there is something even bleaker about “Sex Sick.” Like a freak show, you’ll find yourself wanting to hear these sounds again and again wishing to be taken back into those places only Taint can colorfully bring to life. To sum it all up, “Sex Sick” is one ugly and mean-spirited record.
