1 stars Despite the poor reception I've seen this album get from all over the place, I was still looking forward to it nonetheless since Omar Rodriguez Lopez trying his hand properly at noise music seemed like a pretty interesting idea, and I also knew that people tend to absolutely hate this sort of stuff when it comes from a musician not mainly known for such music, so there were a lot of elements going into this that I was extremely interested in. Unfortunately in this case I can't really say that I enjoyed this anyway and that it is really, really boring noise from my perspective. I think a big part of this reason is that a lot of this stuff doesn't feel as if it fully makes use of this more abstract genre and instead has noise that more closely resembles some of the strange noise sections within individual Mars Volta songs rather than something that truly can stand out on its own. While I understand that this was recorded before Deloused and all that, but it still doesn't change the fact that even removed from the context of anything else ORL has touched, this is still just something that does not stand up on its own at all, without anything too interesting from a textural or atmospheric perspective going on, just a lot of boring noise. I certainly don't inherently dislike this type of music, but in this case I really cannot recommend this or enjoy it all that much.
