[...] This album is an act of rebellion, a powerful "fuck you" to everything and everyone: RCA, the idiotic fans who always want a replica of Transformer or an easy track like Sally Can't Dance, the music business, the vicious cycle of the star system.
It’s a cathartic record that has astonished the entire world and at the same time has become a manifesto.
A manifesto of a new art that will pave the way for legions of post-punkers and various experimenters; just think of Sonic Youth (Thurston Moore will embrace this album) and all the figures of noise rock; think of extreme Japanese experimenters like Merzbow or Keiji Haino, the samurais of extreme noise who will blend their art on this record [...]
