Pretty much what I was expecting, at least you followed through. That said, the album is far from random or accidental despite how untraditional and bastardized it may sound. Each take on the record was performed with an idea and a structure in mind, and while we may be improvising, we're still thinking about what we're playing and how it all fits into the whole. The focus isn't on traditional song structure or development, but in creating an atmosphere to drown in. We wanted it to be psychedelically confrontational, to make the listener feel ugly, confused, and violated. If you listened to the bandcamp version, we intentionally mixed some tracks on that to damage speakers. To accomplish that, we abandoned traditional songwriting/structure in favour of chaotic improvisation taken to its extreme (as if we hadn't already).

Not saying you should like it (most people won't), but it's a perspective that you could find valuable, even if that's only as a curiosity.
