    There's a sense that he's trying to pass off a lack of ability as some kind of artistic statement. [Aug 2009, p.113]

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I can't believe Pitchfork had the cheek to rate this 8.1 and feature it in their best new albums section. This is terrible, there is so much distortion and fuzz that it drowns everything in noise. Unfortunately, there isn't much real music to begin with, so hiding it behind a wall of noise is probably considered 'artistic' or 'avant-garde' by the all the hipsters who rated this album highly. Most of the reviews for this album are very positive, which is a f*cking joke if you ask me. In the words of Q magazine (the only magazine to give it a **** rating): 'There's a sense that he's trying to pass off a lack of ability as some kind of artistic statement'.
