This one sounded cool on paper: "Slightly older punks who squeezed 21 songs onto a 35 minute album. Not always sticking to a verses-choruses structure, and occasionally just stopping songs when they felt they had run their course... or they were bored. Intellectual lyrics that sound like mathematical equations or surrealist poetry." On a less musical front, I really liked the album cover too.
Unfortunately, the reality of the album wasn't something that appealed to me.
I listened to this 10 or so years ago when I made a small list from the '1001' albums book, and it didn't do much for me then either. I've tried to give it a chance and listened to it 2 or 3 times, and it has grown on me a little, but much of the album just dissolves into aural wallpaper after a while. Sometimes that can be a good thing, but not so much with an 'in-your-face' punk album.
