They should just be labeled "Machine Product #48080, release date 11/2014", or something of the sort. When you purchase this sort of stuff, you aren't even getting the work of a real artist anymore. You're just paying to hear the hum of The Industry. "Hmmmm whirrrrrrrr psssssssshhhhtt!!!" Seriously, "Metal Machine Music" has nothing on these merry puppeteers.
