It's a complete waste of perfectly good petroleum products and is hands down the most utterly faecal collection of music I've ever bought. I second this evaluation.

When we saw them it was way too crowded, so we got an added weird effect by being in the back near the pool tables and being able only to listen to the music. My only real beef with them so far is that the new album is a little too much like the other albums and EPs I have...they're not particularly diverse.

Also commonly used to describe failures in human decision making due to faulty, incomplete, or imprecise data. 2. `Garbage In, Gospel Out': this more recent expansion is a sardonic comment on the tendency human beings have to put excessive trust in `computerized' data. "The good part about the Web is that it makes everyone a publisher. The bad part is that it makes everyone a publisher. It is amazingly easy to put absolute drivel on display for the gullible. GIGO (Garbage In - Garbage Out) still holds true, even if the Garbage Out is done up in HTML with nifty graphics." Tim Green, Check out the teeth on that Web, Database Magazine, Oct/Nov 95.
