4.0 out of 5 stars amazing for enthusiasts, inacessible for new comers, 18 Jan 2008
This review is from: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez And Lydia Lunch (Audio CD)
Straight to the point, this is a fantastic album, written by the best composer/guitarist/director of the new millenium. Omars work is consistently brilliant in every project he turns his hand too. And he's turned it too alot. Lunch's spoken vocal style and lyrics are interesting and complements the background of jazzy type ambience. If your looking for hooks and riffs, turn back now, Omar has written them, argubly some of the best ever written in fact, but not for this project. The lyrics follow a feminist/atheist theme which makes use of a minimilistic feel. There are no noticable breaks between tracks, in fact the track numbers are likely getting in the way of the fact that this album is one whole piece of music in its own right. For seasoned Omar/Mars Volta fans it is well worth a listen, and definately a dip in your pocket. For those new to the Genius that is Omar, perhaps listen to a few ATD-I records and some early Mars Volta recordings first. Whilst brilliant, Omars solo projects are undeniably fairly inaccessible to anyone not tripping balls on some freakish acid trip. That said i dont do drugs and i love it.
