My interest in jazz is something I rarely bring up, for the sake of not seeming like a pretentious c*nt of course. Free jazz is considered the most inaccessible of jazz, but personally I think that's not the case. There's more to jazz than just chops, and what makes this album great is that feel of decadence and appocalypse, it's the same kind of recklessness you'd get from punk rock, there's a bit of sleaze and a lot of adrenaline. And personally, I think this is more punk than anything The Sex Pistols ever did.
Favorite tracks: Lonely Woman, Peace, Focus on Sanity, Chronology. |
Ironic that a so-called punk rock band, Refused, were inspired by this album title to create one acclaimed gem, "The Shape of Punk To Come"
But I guess everyone got the irony pages before I did since no-one cared to point out how obvious it is.
