With (Only) one *Original* exception: Zappa / The Mothers
..most-all the rest - correct me if I missed some lower-level group that escaped the Homogenizer-Blender-Babelizer -?-
A u-n-i-f-o-r-m collection of (oft badly-whomped) Whomp-Whomp transistor Gee-tar + plastic-transistor-'piano' sounds and Oh-So-similar lyrics, tempo perfectlyuniformly unvarying unRemittinglyDITTO and
p r e d i c t a b l y Invariant dynamic range: \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd --> \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd
(so much for there being any emotional content signified by nuanced appeal to sensibilities other than.. chaotic paroxism er NoiseScape) AND..
(only occasionally.. and vaguely-) Music-like SOUNDS. Yup: if a shriek Can be called merely "a SOUND". Or a recurrent whine/whinge.. pathos. Or a 'plaint that - "She! kicked me out 'cause I'm really a iggerant Slime-at-Heart (And What a Bitch She Is for Noticing)" OR..
(Of course too, even in Zappaland.. Cruising for Burgers [in Daddy's new car] does not quite.. achieve the wistfulness level of, say Die Sch\ufffdne Mullerin, but then.. what Does? And Yes: Mothers TOO-LOUD too :(
This review brought to you by a consortium of non-rave Reviewers [who usually shake heads, tacitly smarl - and tune-it-out] of the Mondo-crappo which replaced even-Worse-Basiccrap (the Top-10, then Pop-30 then 40) -- and made the RIAA What It Is Today: Soo-Ey! Soo-Ey!
A slop-hogs Wholesale IV funnel-feeder of swill to the *tone-deaf masses of folks what will Consume *Anything* if it's marketed-as-Rilly-BIG-Merde (foreign cachet?), in albums (rhymes with pabulum) with Covers suggesting that . . .
[the listener Too! can stick a bar of Lava\ufffd down his genes.. and GetGurrlsToo]
* tone-deaf? Make that clinically Profoundly-deaf, by age 30 \ufffd
And maybe.. a Good Thing at that. All things considered.
