They sort of sound more like monkeys than screaming LOL

I hadn't heard Leng T'Che, so I looked it up on youtube and listened to a bit. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I thought it was pretty good, and it's not as confrontational or abrasive as much of the music I like. Hell, the Boredoms' Pop Tatari is harder to listen to than that, as are the early Foetus records. (not saying they isn't good.)

I think I'll have a listen of Leng Tch'e today, that'd be soothing.

It's probably redeemable because people have different tastes than you.
 
Don't hide behind that.
 
Not everything is just a matter of taste and personal opinion.
 
Some of my work is better than other work, and I know it.
 
Some "avant" music is brilliant. Some is drek. The nature of avant tends to make for more misses because so much is risked. When you're way out on a limb, you're going to fall more frequently than when you're on the ground.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

There's probably worse music on the archives, but the only reason I could think of someone to even think of listening to this is to look "deep" with their last.fm scrobbles.

I like Beefheart's voice and am in particular fond of Zoot Horn Rollo's unique take on blues guitar.  Some of the tracks are a bit much, but most of it is catchy or at least interesting.

I hadn't read those reviews in quite a while - thanks for the walk down memory lane Dead
 
Here are some other truly "what were they thinking?" awful albums.  You can read the linked reviews if you want to know why Wink

You're free to follow the relativist path. I do not.

I once made an album where I sampled my own flatulence and recorded a keyboard of Mellotron tapes using the samples.  

The resulting album was so bad, my psychiatric team made me burn all the tapes.   Pity, I would have liked to have read the reviews on PA.  

It was still better than Love Beach.

I'm not a relativist; I just don't think "objective truth" can reside in one person's opinions, but more opinions and facts need to be collated together in order to assemble something that could be "objective" to some degree.

In the same way some who's favourite painter is Jackson Pollack is "deep". It kind of pisses me off when people try to pass Beefheart for a "genius" or something for playing some retarded sounding blues rock.

I've never claimed "objective truth" but I have claimed some degree of a right to opinion based on researching the song, multiple careful listens, listens to alternate takes, and by comparison to related artists including other work by the Zorn and Naked City.
 
I may have presented my moral belief as fact that torturing a human being in the most prolonged and painful way one can imagine as being a bad thing.

Yeah, you are pretty much claiming objective truth all to yourself. Plus, implying moral dificiencies on the part of those who like music you asses as bad and imoral must be one of the lamest things I've ever seen on PA. Thumbs Down
