Mine is Twin Infinitives by Royal Trux


I was (and am still) a big fan of their '93 album, Cats and Dogs, so I bought the CD reissue of their self-titled album from '90. Here's what allmusic has to say about it..

Quote:
Noisier and harsher than the group's debut, Twin Infinitives is a polarizing record -- you either understand Royal Trux's primal, atonal deconstructions of rock & roll, or you think it's self-indulgent, unlistenable crap. Either way, Twin Infinitives is noteworthy for stretching the amateurish trash-rock of Royal Trux to the extreme, creating a defiantly noisy and abrasive assault of gutted riffs, screams, tinny synthesizers and melodic fragments. It may not be particularly listenable, but it is some sort of achievement.
My opinion is the bolded part. But I won't get rid of the CD because I feel like it's worth keeping for some dumb arty reason.
