2 stars Definitely not for me. First tune is a one chord chant with the vocalist singing an Asian melody. Not sure if these are words in a language I don't know or not. Quite repetitive and dull. Second tune, more of the same but a bit of percussion is added. The guitar on the third track, for the first few minutes, sounds like it's a copy of something Adrian Belew did in King Crimson. Interesting at times but the vocal melodies are brutal to listen to. Fourth tune has many musical changes complete with noise and general weirdness. The grating vocals are still prevalent. Final tune is another chant.

This album is rated highly by many, but I don't get it.
