Negative Positive
Title: Beautiful and Scary
Review: Every single musician I have ever played this CD for has been utterly amazed--every musician on this recording shows unbelievable talent and skill, and Zorn has arranged each track superbly. That said, the first half of this album has some of the best jazz I've ever heard, while the 2nd half of this album heads more into some form of "speed-metal" territory. Most people I've met seem put off by all the screaming on the latter half...while some find it hilarious (like I do). This was the first Naked City album I bought, and it remains my favorite. I would recommend it as a great introduction to the works of John Zorn.
Is the review positive or negative?
