I can't listen to noise "music". I need a rhythm or a melody... anything, just some sort of structure or sense of familiarity to enjoy something I'm listening to. Merzbow/other harsh noise artists that I'm aware of rarely engage anything like that, the only example I can think of is Fvck Buttons but good god who has time to listen to a whole album full of 10 minute tracks? I think noise in general is an interesting concept. There are lots of really interesting textures but without a rhythm, melody, or sense of structure I'm gonna have to agree with Batlord- it has no redeeming listening value and is just noise for the sake of noise.
