Started off ok, whitestripes influence but god did it become a slog after the first few songs. Found myself praying they would kick the tempo up a little as one song merged into another and I slowly slipped into a coma.

" he sounds like brian ferry if Bryan ferry couldn't sing. How long is this album? Please crash the car." Road to nowhere aside talking heads passed me by in my youth and nothing here caused me to lament that.

Ok I'm old, that doesn't mean I'm a Beatles fan, thats your grandparents. my music was 80's. That being said this album is stunning. Totally blown away. Never listened to this as a complete body of work, if my dad was still with us I think I'd owe him an apology, perhaps the Beatles were all you said they were.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman
John Zorn
Like kicking an orchestra down the stairs of a mental hospital, I spent 40 mins laughing which may not have been the reaction they were hoping for.
I imagine each musician was handed different 2 hour scores and told first one to finish wins.
I honestly cant decide if this is genius or the sound track to a schizophrenic episode.

This album was a gateway to different sounds and cultures whilst maintaining an accessibility for western ears.
