The disc, having already sold 40,000 units on word-of-mouth with little promotion and distribution, throbs with the potential to the face of rock. The bands synergy and Chad's production talents are the manifest throughout, especially on the "96 Quite Bitter Beings," the driving, anti-"Must See TV" disco-ditty "The Human Drive In Hi-Fi," the jazzy atmospheric sorta-ballad "Sara's Mask," and the vitriolic Manson-esque dirge, "Rio Bravo." "There's a couple little mix things I did with ["Rio Bravo"]," says Chad. "But generally, the bulk is the first rough mix, and the first song we recorded together. When that hit, I knew it was fuckin' the shit, 'cause I just spent a lot of time on it- we all did. I used that song to demo the studio to other bands that I recorded, like, 'dude-check out what our studio sounds like!' And the studio sucked. It's just the record we made sounded good." Indeed it does. It's heavy melodic, accessible, and above all, original. And there's not a chorus on the record. "Try to get a deal with no choruses, these days," laughs the outspoken Ginsburg, who reveals, though sing-a-long choruses are "for pussies," there will be one or two on cKy's upcoming third album, which the tireless band is already recording at Audio Resources in Honolulu. Ginsburg explains the he, Miller, Zaborowski, and Margera can't help but "always be thinking cKy and doing cKy, so here we are, doing cKy." And by cKy, they don't mean simply the band. cKy has become a fan-driven movement, with the band as figurehead. "Somebody made a real mistake by putting us in this industry," warns Ginsburg. "We're definitely aware that the kids hate everything on MTV. They hate it all. There may be some closet kids who are hiding those records but, as far as everything that's happening right now, it's all about to crumble. Everything's being retired. cKy will take over the name of rock and roll and piss in its face, I promise."
