Een selectie van recensies van één van mijn favoriete platen...
Citaat:
This is absolute torture to listen to. People that give this album five stars are more interested in being avant-garde and name-dropping than actually listening to the music. This is simply terrible, even if you like the producer. This is one of the worst records I've ever heard, and I've listened to it several times to be sure I'm not giving it short shrift. This is the musical equivalent of the raving lunatic yelling at his backpack or shoelaces on the street. Maybe HE thinks it's important, but you'd be stupid to feel the same.
Citaat:
Thank goodness some people have the courage to speak out against this claptrap. Not too many people are actually going to say anything bad about truly solid music. Most of us commenting on this album are open-minded and willing to listen to new/experimental music (how else would we have heard of the artist?). However, this album is just terrible, and it's important that people not put up with jokes just because they are new or different. Let's have some standards: we want new and interesting music, but it has to be well done. The artist meets the first qualification easily, but fails miserably at the second. 1 star only.
Citaat:
Sure, there were a lot of epileptics that have done good work (Dostoevsky among them), but I can't think of a single one who did their good work DURING their seizures... There's no other excuse for musicianship as poor as this. To the artist: either learn how to play, or take some epilepsy meds.
Citaat:
I put this album in and felt like there must be some kind of mistake. Is it possible that it was burned incorrectly? Was there some stripe of problem with my cd player? All of these explanations would be more reassuring than the truth - an album so terrible that there's just no excuse for it. I feel like someone played a prank on me. Be sure to listen to the samples before springing for this. Trust me.
En het gekke is dat ik dit nog wel de beste reclame vind!
Ik heb het over Trout Mask Replica van Captain Beefheart. Als je op Amazon kijkt (waar bovenstaande quotes vandaan komen) zie je dat de meerderheid van kopers óf 5 punten, óf 1 punt geeft. Slechts zo'n 15% zit er tussenin. Het is een muzikale vorm van masochisme denk ik, zo'n plaat die je doet gillen: HOU OP! HOU OP! Lekker.
