Unorthodox, messy, and obnoxious. And those are the positives.

There is absolutely no flow between songs, let alone within each song. It's a full-on schizophrenic display of technically ambitious, melodically inept "songs" that aim to bridge the gaps of the avant-garde and the extreme (dancing between more traditional death metal elements and deathcore slamming) but without any cohesive glue to keep everything together. It comes off as more of a headache-inducing assault on the senses than a properly written album, but that will probably appeal to the handful of masochistic consumers of intentionally "bad" music out there.

Hints of structure appear scattered throughout, and the usage of piano goes a long way in making this nearly palatable at times; but, as a whole, this just reeks of someone trying way too hard to be "weird" and "different" because that's what real music is and everyone else is just a corporate whore like Lady Gaga :

Love you too baby! Thank you for the kind words!

But seriously, I make music for myself. I put it out there and if people like it, cool, and if they don't, that's fine too. It's my hobby and it's rather therapeutic to me.

If you don't like my material, I'm sorry. BUT I do have to say, I could care less about "corporate whores" or what's considered "real" music, and it's unfortunate that my work gives you such a message. I don't believe I'm some deep thinker or amazing artist. I'm just a guy making what I like.

I'm 30 years old; I grew out of that hipster elitist stuff years ago and I just had to set that record straight. Cheers.

My words are just as open to criticism as your art, and I appreciate the response. At least you have the gall to release your material and stand behind it. All I do is shit on it from behind a screen like the super cool guy I am
