I've heard this album described as "ground-breaking," which is strange to me. It doesn't sound particularly new, so I suppose it's deemed ground-breaking because it merges a plethora of styles from other musicians. 

Um, okay. Does that mean a track has to be 21 minutes long? Good god, man. I get it, it's supposed to be a slow burn. Maybe that excuses the first eight minutes or so. I think it was self indulgent and unoriginal. 

Just not very interesting to me and I would have been fine if this ground remained unbroken.

RATING: 2/5
