I didn't like it.

I much preferred Flipped out Bride or Last to the City

i like sensitive/lethal, its thurston's best noise record, certainly. problem is, thurston's (and the youth's) strength is incorporating noise and guitar feedback and experimental textures into rock songs. its one of the hardest things to do is to make noise in the context of a pop format, and they do it amazingly well. but i give thurston prop's for this record, its definitley a good listen (although i havnt had many urges to pop it in), and it makes smaller noise labels (in this case, no fun) money to release killer noise records by killer noise artists. he is a full supporter of the music he loves.

That is a fucking acecore sig.

I agree with Necro, I rank it pretty low among Thurston's noise/experimental outings. I found the preceeding noise cassettes and flipped out bride way more enjoyable.

Pitchfork is weird, you have the reviews that are properly written by proper journalists, and then you have reviewers who just review for controversial reasons (wow giving the Mars Volta 2.0/10 or whatever, REALLY EDGY!)

I don't smoke either. Haha I don't know I listen to noise when I have to study or something, not really abrassive noise though. It keeps me from getting too bored., but doesn't divert my attnetion like regular music might

The Mars Volta doesn't suck.
They're a great band that happens to have a really cleanly produced sound.
I can only speak for two of their albums, though, and a friend of mine told me not to bother with their latest record.

yeah the mars volta are probably the worst band currently making music. I can't think of a band I despise more really. I think I might almost possibly begin to understand how people could somewhat not mind listening to them, but let me put it like this: As supposedly negative and harsh as I am in regards to music, I can tell you something I like about almost any band, even ones I totally hate.. I can at least conjure up SOMETHING... "oh, the drums are cool", you know... I can't say a single good thing about the Mars Volta.

But hey if you like em, neat.

Most of pitchfork's readers probably don't think that.

Hmm maybe. I don't see that many people feeling that strongly about the Mars Volta either way to be alienated by a pitchfork review but then again...
