Blah. All that noisy experimentation sounded incompetent. Like Floyd were trying way too hard to show how non-traditional they could be. At first I thought maybe it was just going over my head, but now I'm listening to The United States of America and all the noisy **** is vastly more entertaining, vastly more disconcerting, vastly more fun, vastly more whimsical, and vastly more atmospheric. And all without sounding at all dated cause it doesn't sound like a 60s stereotype. Makes me dislike Piper even more.
