Familiarity: Did a bit of research in the meantime, and after hearing some of his other songs, I'm a bit scared.
There's only one song, and it's called Balance of Neurosis. So, I'm gonna just lob all of this into one. Here it goes:
Heard the first ten seconds and paused. I just can't do this anymore. Nah, jk. It actually sounds pretty cool. Let me guess, this is the entire album. There's basically a bunch of tapping noises. And that's about it, besides some guitar. Exciting... Alright, gonna try to condense this into ten minutes. Alright, skip. Wait, what's happening... Am I... enjoying this? Yeah, actually. This is some cool stuff. Maybe it's just that listening to so much prog has desensitized me to random noise going on forever. This is the kind of stuff you trip too. Lots of guitar in there. I think if you can tolerate sitting down for 40 minutes, or if you have nothing better to do, you might enjoy listening to this album. It's certainly not boring, and there's some weird beautiful attraction to it. Can't wait for his "doom metal" phase. Alright, this song is really weird, but it's also pretty dang cool. Fun. Funfunfunfunfunfunfunfun. FUNFUNFUBNFUNFUNFUN!FUN!FUN!FUN! FUN! FUN!

Anyways, it's really just guitar and random noise. There's no other way to describe this album. Listen to it if you like experimental rock or noise rock. You'll probably enjoy it. For me, it's a
OVERALL RATING: 7/10
