Listened to it just awhile ago to refresh my memory, and still a very good listen. It didn't give me the same effect as when I first listened to it. With the shrieking violin, and seemingly random drum solos, transistor radio spewing off random unrelated statements. It was like falling into a schizophrenic Hell.

On this listen, I got the same effect, but it was a bit more comfortable. I get the feeling this is one of those albums you NEED to listen to on good speakers/headphones cause I used to listen to it with either, or, and it's lost a bit of power.

Still though, my biggest complaint on last listen was the fact it just felt too short. Not a bad complaint at all considering. If I were to give it a star rating it'd be a 4/5. Seeing as, I consider it an amazing feat of subconscious musicianship to be able to create something with such a thick, convincing, dramatic effect with no preparation at all whatsoever. Yet, I don't think it has the lasting value to be worth 4.5 or 5 out of 5.

Al Pacino = God
