Title: Dull
Review: I think that John Zorn is an important musician and like to give him the benefit of the doubt. Many of his countless albums are brilliant. Even when his music is not that interesting on first listen, I will hang in there and listen repeatedly in the hope of finding treasures not immediately apparent. However, this album just leaves me cold. I really don't care if it is like or unlike other Naked City releases, or which musicians are on it. It's one of those albums that stands on its own merits because it is so unique. It appears to be an exercise in making the smallest possible amount of sound for the length of an entire album while still making some sound. It may be "ambient", but if so, it is dull ambient. It's just plain dull. One can admire the idea or vision of this album but I have to say that I don't like it much, and I like a lot of Zorn.
Is the review positive or negative?
