I'd heard Art was this big later departure for Regurgitator, but they were doing the same basic stunt right away on their debut LP: jumping genres, fucking around with rap, funk, punk, and electronics, being mildly offensive, fairly hooky, and generally strange.
But where Art felt *new* this is pastiche, Limp Bizkit-worthy terrible takes on rap and proto-nu-metal noise. Also, these dudes just sound dumb as hell most of the time: spitting middle-school takes on misogyny, selling out, racism, and generally being super radical and punk rock and offensive. They're a concept band at heart, with shades of Ween, Beefheart, Frogs, but at this point in their career they didn't have the awareness, didn't have the will to twist hard enough to snap 2.5/5
