Granted this is probably my least favorite DMZ release, but to say it has little lasting impact is a bit short sighted. The amount of mid range riffage clones that came after this is almost unmeasurable. No one was doing it like this before the dmz boys were droping it. And it certainly stands out in their catalog as being the most aggressive thing to date and I've got to wonder if they put it out as a message to everyone else on the "harder then hard" contest. It doesn't get any rougher then "Spongebob," period. Coki set a new standard, yet again.

"The End" on the flip is really over shadowed, too. Which is unfortunate as it's a really good tune that doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

I'm not really sure what Coki was going for on these tracks. Neither "Sponge Bob" or "The End" have any elements that I find interesting. These sounds have all been heard before to greater effect on other Coki releases and at this point the razor bass sounds contrived.

I don't recall hearing any dj play these tunes out certainly not since the record was first released. Far from the classic status of earlier releases, DMZ 013 seems to have been forgotten already.

Spongebob is a relentlessly warped piece of dubstep. Imagine if 808 state had made Cubic without any varation of the notes so that they repeted themsleves except for a disturbing wobble at the end that sounds like someone rubbing there finger on the lable of the record quickly slowing, then speeding up the pitch of it you get the idea of the brutality in the simplicity of this receord. Then it stops, and where you might expect some kind of gear change, pounds on just like before. I like it!
