 This Caribou album is hemorrhoidal shit, and it hurts.

 Don’t listen to this album, let me suffer, but don’t do it, the retchings coined by the mint could come out with small smelly patches.

This review expresses strong disappointment with Caribou’s Our Love album, criticizing its synthetic production and perceived lack of depth. The author uses sarcasm and cultural references to highlight discontent, ultimately advising readers not to listen to the album. Despite the critique, some playful and vivid imagery is used throughout.

 It’s a Beautiful album (with a capital B). Beautiful like the music they make, beautiful like the lyrics they write, beautiful like the character that emanates from the notes played.

 Springy metal would be perfect.

 Bull Of Heaven is, ninety-nine-point-nine(repeating)percent, the greatest hoax the musical world (?) has ever known until today.

 Listening to the rustle of the wind is three hundred times more constructive and productive.

This review highlights Bull Of Heaven's enigmatic and extremely long ambient work, dubbed one of music's greatest hoaxes. The album spans an unimaginable 50,000 hours, making it largely unlistenable in its entirety. Known only as a mysterious project, it challenges conventional music norms and is notable for its staggering length rather than musicality. Dive into the mystery of Bull Of Heaven’s legendary 50,000-hour ambient album—if you dare to listen!

 Zorn’s operation in this work is precisely to push such a canonical ensemble to its limits by testing it on compositions that have 'other' references.

 The formula of the tracks, almost always based on the theme/solos/theme structure, appears rather repetitive, and the outcome always remains vaguely self-referential.

John Zorn’s Masada Quintet album 'Stolas: The Book of Angels, Volume 12' showcases a stellar ensemble of jazz greats playing his compositions. While the musicianship is excellent, the album's repetitive structure and lack of innovation make it less compelling compared to other contemporary jazz works. It offers a rare chance to hear these top artists together but may not reach the excitement level some listeners expect. Listen to Masada Quintet’s Stolas for a remarkable jazz collective and judge this bold album yourself.

 Stop bothering with those foolishly insipid and boring genres.

 Let yourself be enveloped by the sweet nothingness that this album floods, let yourself be seduced by this girl and her grace.

 "The three musicians have a wonderful understanding, cooperate naturally, and make the 60 minutes of the album fluid and extremely enjoyable."

 "Azazel maintains the outline of the early Masada, but adds some more avant-experimental pieces, similar to Zorn's 'modern classical' works of Angelus Novus or Magick."

This review praises John Zorn's Azazel: Book Of Angels Vol. 2, performed by the Masada String Trio, for its masterful blend of traditional Klezmer and avant-experimental styles.

 "John Zorn – who never leaves anything to chance – dedicated the volume 10 specifically to this biblical figure."

 "Despite the presence of Bar Kokhba, I do not consider this the best of the ‘Book Of Angels’ and at times there is the distressing sensation that easy listening is making its way into Zorn’s entire production."

This review examines John Zorn’s 'Lucifer: Book Of Angels Volume 10' by the Bar Kokhba Sextet, emphasizing its mystical kabbalah symbolism and diverse jazz influences. While praising standout tracks like 'Zazel' and 'Gediel,' the reviewer expresses reservations about some less memorable pieces and overall easy-listening tendencies.

 The execution is all too clean but scarcely effective and incisive.

 Certain instrumental solutions... leave much to be desired.

Paul Brody’s Sadawi album ‘For The Moment’ aims to explore Jewish roots through a fusion of klezmer, Balkan, and jazz music. Despite this ambitious approach, the album suffers from overly clean execution and limited impact. Some instrumental choices and electronic elements feel weak and sporadic, leading to a disappointing overall impression. Explore Paul Brody’s Sadawi album 'For The Moment' and decide if this fusion of klezmer and jazz speaks to you.

 Jeremy’s pieces are indescribable; together, they form a Byzantine mosaic tinted in sepia: they are a thousand variations of a drunken folklore that dances on out-of-fashion notes.

 An album that is appreciated, it may appeal to lonely hearts and drunken wanderers and intellectual freaks.
