Big Black - Songs About ****ing.

I don't admire the noise rock sound as much as I'd like. So I never got into Sonic Youth or KEN Mode or anything. Dinosaur Jr. was my favorite noise rock band/. It might be Big Black now. I can greatly appreciate Big Black's well written sense of energy, truth to their noise rock and hardcore sounds, as well as great guitar work and rhythms.

Batlord told me it would be hard for a guy like me to get into bands like Boredoms and Big Black. Boredoms, yes. Big Black? No. Big Black is more my thing. Although their guitar techniques aren't as unique and creative as Boredoms, Boredoms did one thing right for me while Big Black does most things right. I mean, keep in mind. This is Steve Albini's band. Seriously. No man knows energy like him. No man knows fuzziness like him.

All in all, Big Black is my current top choice for noise rock. I really like this album, and I wish they did more than two studio albums. 95/100
