content: Perhaps instead of calling this album 'Song X' a more appropriate title would have been 'Schizophren-X'. The notes are so disorganized and scattered that it obviously gives the listener some insight into what an auditory hallucination must be like. There is absolutely nothing groovy about this recording. Quite frankly it is down right frightening, and painful to listen to. No matter how many times I hear this I still refuse to believe that this really is Pat Metheny. Please tell me it isn't so. Something was seriously wrong in the recording studio during the making of this album. Pat, trust me I really do love you but, what were you thinking?!! All though I am generally crazy for Pat Metheny I rate this recording negative stars. If you insist on listening to this album please remember to first comply with your medications.
