Well, Benzo, it was clear, expected, and implied that it wasn't just that. He doesn't play 1234 instruments, Zorn. Zorn Soloist, I mean works titled solely under Zorn's name, that is to say, those works where the final say comes from Zorn. Yes, Mike might have told him let’s do this, let’s do that... but the final "yes/no/yes but" is Zorn's; the work comes out as he wants it, without having to accommodate multiple opinions, like Masada or Naked City. Plus, no one is really solo in works like these. The only truly solo albums are jazz, like Pastorius on stage alone for an hour, an hour of solo bass; Phil Glass with a solo piano concert; Filomena Moretti with a solo classical guitar concert... only Zorn mainly plays the sax, and it’s clear from the review that this wasn't a solo sax album :)

How does it sound? More like a desert session than a QOTSA album. It’s light, really light, super light. I think it's the start of a new style. The first one was very rock, the second very pop, the third a fusion of the first two. This has nothing to do with that; it's light, very light but also a bit crazy. It feels more "naughty" than "rowdy," because Oliveri is no longer there and he was the rowdy one. Homme made it clear, I've had enough of making a ruckus every night, of waking up in the morning not knowing where I am... Josh Homme, the stoner is dead and gone. Just look at the cover, it explains everything perfectly. No more naked babes with beer in hand, but a frightened little girl lost in a cave. It’s more of a Cleo album than an album for vv... to put it in de-baser terms. For sure, many will be disappointed, but just as certainly, a lot of people who weren't that into QOTSA will appreciate this album. For the umpteenth time, Josh has pulled a fast one on everyone. I’m not a huge fan of his, but I can’t find a fault.

Here, you see, you've hit on ONE of the Reasons... this thing about being Bob Dylan's heir... my goodness, what a crazy ride... my goodness... Perhaps I dislike it so much also because I heard it quite late, after reading endless praise and comparisons like the one mentioned above; I was expecting something impressive... I didn’t find it impressive and that’s why I got riled up. Sometimes disappointment ruins our judgments. The exact same thing happened with U2; I was expecting all sorts of interstellar coolness... but it was the same old story as with Springsteen :D

Of course I listened to it, and what is it, the trusted review? It's beautiful, but above all it's yet another time he's changing direction. It was supposed to be Finished after Kyuss... and here he is again, giving rock lessons to everyone, jamme bell' :D / To those who liked No One Knows, Song For The Dead, Millionaire... this album will suck, but that's their problem, not Homme's.

Zorn Solista has something that doesn’t sit fully right with me. He takes himself a bit too seriously; sometimes it’s annoying. This is a great album blah blah blah, but when he’s with other people I prefer him... alone he gets a bit too self-indulgent. Come on, there are pieces on this album that don’t make a damn bit of sense, yes, very surprising and disorienting... but there are too many of these moments; if he’d grounded himself just a little more, it could have been something really awesome, but instead it's a great Zorn album, just like many others from Zorn. He missed an opportunity. For example, I much prefer The Director's Cut by Fantomas... but that doesn’t mean that the Fantomas are better musicians than Zorn, okay? Zorn knows so many things, this is just an episode that feels a bit overshadowed by a massive wave of great albums; it’s impossible to keep up with Zorn, he puts out 8-9 a year, for crying out loud :D

I haven't listened to the Blue Album by Orbital; I've found them annoying for some reason. Like CCCP, CSI, Afterhours, Marlene Kuntz—I've never heard them in my life, but I can't stand them, and I never will. I have the Orbital albums, but I haven't listened to them in ages; I got them through Tool, that album with the X-rayed skulls, I can't remember the title. :)
