Weird Little Boy - s/t


A lot of people trash this avant-garde noise album, which is a collaboration between, among others, Mike Patton (Faith No More), John Zorn, and Trey Spruance (Secret Chiefs 3). Spruance himself has called the album "a piece of shit". Honestly, they're not far off the mark. However, this is still a damn interesting clunker of an album. It's not awful by any means -- just unremarkable in some places. It sounds like unfinished work; like a collection of ambient noises and minimalistic jam sessions. It's interesting and at times oddly relaxing, though, so it wouldn't hurt to check it out. Besides, there are a few cool moments on here, like the trash-doom "Lungfull of Water" (awesome), the eerie "Seance", and the wacky pastiche of noises called "Two Weeks On A Morphine Drip".

Favorite track: "Lungfull of Water"
Least favorite track: "Waiting"
