Customer Reviews Do not buy this CD I figured, it could not possibly be as bad as what some are saying. I skimmed over the other reviews before buying this, saying how good Girl Talk's other CD's were, and how bad this was. After listening to it, I can't imagine any record label putting this out. It is un-listenable. Do not buy this unless you really can't believe the reviews without hearing it for yourself. This CD is a joke. Feel... . . the noise. I hope Greg comes out with another just like it only more songs. Bring on the mix (Night Ripper), bring on the glitch (Unstoppable), and bring on the noise (Secret Diary)! He does it all. . . SO SO SO SO well!. Before They Were Famous... It's a brilliantly calculated album of near perfect mash-ups. Like the other reviewers before me, I will preface this by saying that I LOVE the Night Ripper album. And one of the best albums of 2006. Unstoppable, the previous album, is not as strong, but you can tell he was improving his craft, working his way up to the brilliance of Night Ripper. At least those songs sound like mash-ups in the traditional sense. But Secret Diary, his first album, is just a mess. These "songs" are nowhere near as fluid & coherent as his later albums. Instead it sounds like your CD player is skipping. (As one reviewer pointed out, I too had to check to make sure the disc wasn't damaged!) Either that, or it brings to mind the sound your radio makes as you quickly scroll across the dial, catching split-second snippets of songs. I'd be hard-pressed to call it music. And it's certainly nothing you can dance to! One track, "Time To Get Glamorous," doesn't even use songs, but rather sound effects & such! This album is more a meditation on noise experimentation if nothing else. It's the CD equivalent to record scratching. And it's not enjoyable. Skip this & instead go for Night Ripper & Unstoppable. . . You can see a complete list of all Girl Talk discography, or go back to the Girl Talk tabs
