The guy asked for a review in the forums.
Ask and ye shall receive a review. But be care of what you wish for.
I don't think a bad review is what you wanted. It's not what I wanted either - I hate giving bad reviews. I'd much rather rave on about great music.
Anyway, it's an *honest* opinion. But it's still only an opinion. It's not the Truth Engraved On A Stone Tablet by Mr Truth wearing a Truth costume and singing the Truth song in Truthland. So you can ignore it completely:

Low-fi is ok so long as it doesn't get so low that it grates/bores.
I tried to imagine an evening out over at a student squat. Someone's lit up a cigarette and got his old beat up guitar out, and is singing some stuff sincerely, if not very well.
Even trying to imagine it that way, looking past the production quality, nothing grabbed me. Maybe if I were in my most teenage angst-ridden period I could maybe have vaguely liked Wicked Disease. But the pieces really needed better production and a far stronger imagination than I could bring to bear on the music to even stand a chance. I didn't feel the music really had anything special even with the music going through a huge Imagination Filter Processor to clean it up and make it sound professional.
With the ultra-lo-fi production that these pieces actually had, a listener would have to be a total masochist to listen to this. Or maybe be a neophyte emo goth girl who's just left a boyband/horses phase and wants to progress on to slashing her wrists.
