A common reaction to this album is initial hatred, followed by becoming curious enough about it to want to give it a few more listens, follwed in turn by fascination with the album, followed by simply loving it. Such was my reaction. Check out European Son and marvel at the fact that every little bit of feedback in that track was supposed to be there. There’s lots of feedback, distortion, and noise on this album, and it got me fascinated with the concept of noise as music.
