2 stars Legit or just a big joke?

This album will test:

1) your patience. Is it serious or is it just goofing around on your instrument? Some segments makes sense like Amygdala, we could almost hear Gentle Giant. I say almost. Otherwise, it's pretty non-sensical. Or is it just so advanced, nitwits don't get it?

2) your musical judgement. « Why I cannot enjoy this? Why don't I understand what's going on? I thought I was open minded! »

3) your sanity. How many spins are needed to grasp the « genius »?

I hear adventure, I hear improv, I hear a desire to push forward a concept but I don't hear genius. Hell no.

You know why they call it free jazz? Because nobody would pay to hear it. (chuckles)
