Negative Positive
Title: Nonsensical
Review: Unfortunately we are likely to hear a "sampling" of the laughable pretentiousness of the jazz crowd. We will hear that this is a great album because it's "challenging." We will hear them compliment it because they know most people will not be able to sit through this, which makes it anti-pop, which makes it good, right? It's not challenging, it's unlistenable nonsense with no structure or noticeable direction. Even in admiration for Jarrett's boldness in the attempt, which I have, that should in no way lead to the contention that this is a good album.Then again, if you're one of those people who liked Captain Beefheart's oddities or think that simply not sounding like things you've heard before is preferable to actually ENJOYING your listening experience then this is the album for you.
Is the review positive or negative?
