I

To say this album is difficult to absorb is probably the understatement of the year. Maybe I'm getting old, but I suppose progressive rock has underwent a lot of changes I'm unaware of. Disclaimer: I'm old school (Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Rush, King Crimson, etc) so that may help explain why listening to this album is like parasailing through a thick fog of broken glass. To be fair, there were some nice elements here and there, but they were so overburdened by sheer noise that the end result was way too challenging for me. I suppose if I was a fan of Frank Zappa or avant garde music in general I'd think Chromb! was the bomb. Unfortunately, I have to pass.
