If you have read my blog before, you will see that I sometimes complain about pretentious music. Well, I apologize because that was nothing compared to this. This is a rock cover of a classical piece of music done by Modest Mussorgsky in 1874. Mind=blown.
I know so little about classical music it is embarrassing. I went to a symphony once and fell asleep. I can name about five composers. I also hated the movie Amadeus. I know so little, in fact, that I considered doing the 1001 Classical Recordings project but figured that would end in me swan diving out of my window.
Anyway, this is probably the most intellectual album I have ever listened to. Naturally, it went over my head. I feel like Woody Allen in Small Time Crooks. I don't even feel like I can criticize it too much. It would be like me trashing sports. I know that just because I don't like it, doesn't mean other people won't fall in love with it. Just not my cup of tea.
RATING: 1/5
