Audiopile Review: It’s interesting and odd when a group or artist makes one of their best albums in a distinctly off-brand style. Funkadelic’s ‘Maggot Brain’ and the godlike Peter Hammill’s ‘Nadir’s Big Chance’ are unusually straightforward rock albums among eclectic discographies. But they are also arguably the best albums of...

This is a rock record. Experimental, maybe, just listen to that fucking weird piano in “Chew, Devour”. But also punk, like Dead Kennedys were Punk. It’s from 2010, and maybe, one day an album like this could be considered as normal music.
