While I completely understand why people can’t stand this record I just find this to be one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever heard. Is it going anywhere near my all time favorite albums? No, absolutely the fuck not, but the avant garde musical style made its presence known to me. And when a record does that, it’s at the very least not something that I can call one of the worst albums of all time.

Just generic garage rock that has already been hashed out for a decade. Not needed

God some of the reviews that are questioning its inclusion because it’s merely background music kinda irritates me. Like, if you don’t like it, that’s one thing. No album is for everyone. But this is exactly the type of album that should be included in a good 1001 list. I know that a lot of people were complaining about the minimalism of this record but like, that’s the point. Ignoring that aspect of music would be incredibly foolish because there are people who think that this is a great album like myself.
