Never said it wasn't music, just that I hated it with every bone in my body.

I wasn't referring to you, I thought your review was great. I was talking about TH's edit.

Title: Milk Man
Artiste: Deerhoof
Genre: Experimental
Familiarity: Zero
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_Man_(Deerhoof_album)

Track 1(Love) This album is just full of surprises from the off, isn't it? Hard, almost metal guitar, followed by a very progressive rock keyboard, punk styles and then a vocal from what sounds like a nine-year old! Or one of my cats.
Track 2(Love) This one sounds even more progressive; has violins in it. Is that girl Japanese? I'm going to assume that's Satomi Matsuzaki, as it sure ain't Chris Cohen!
Track 3(Love) For the first minute this is just shuffly percussion, then lone piano before yer wan comes back in. Nice.
Track 4(Love) This one's quite experimental. No vocals that I can hear. Lot of different things going on.
Track 5(Hate) Yeah, this is just stupid. And very annoying.
Track 6(Hate) As is this. You sure Frownland isn't guesting on this?

Track 7(Hate) Yeah, the novelty has worn off now. This is just getting more annoying as it goes along.
Track 8(Love) Ok, this one is nice.
Track 9(Hate) Oh, ****! Thirty seconds of silence then someone playing a piano like a child? You're really pushing it here, guys!

Track 10 This one is kind of okay but...
Track 11(Love) Just about recovers at the end with a really nice organ-driven ballad. But has it saved the album? See below.

End result: Started off quite well but I quickly formed the opinion that Deerhoof were just being, as Batty might put it, goofy for the sake of being goofy. To an extent it worked but then the joke got stale and I started to really resent this album. By the end I knew I would never listen to any more of their material again.

So, Love or Hate? That's a Hate, sorry.

Chances of a full review: 0/10

Frown can you link me pls? Can't find it on YT and I ain't going through 35,690 John Zorn albums on Spotify to find they don't have it. My scrolling arm will be dead and my mouse will explode. It's not coming up there as Masada Guitars. and it's up next. Thanks.

Hm I thought you'd like Deerhoof a little, and honestly that's one o their more straightforward albums. They have a good balance between silly, great songwriting, abd amazing players (the drummer is a ****ing beast if you ever watch a live clip of them).

It depends. I write "fixed" a lot. What did I fix? I don't recall ever calling your music, um, not music. Can you point me to the original quote?
