FINAL ALBUM AND I AM TIRED SO THIS SHIT BETTER NOT BE ANNOYING

Hair Gun (13:18):
-0:05: FUCK IT IS ANNOYING WHAT A SURPRISE
-1:18: pew pew pew. i noticed that merzbow started using PEW PEW sounds a lot more at around the 40 album mark. guess that's when some idiot gave him a good computer or something.
-2:15: i guess he saved his LOUDEST FUCKING ALBUM for last. FUCK YOU MERZBOW
-4:38: merzbow is definitely my favourite music to play pokemon to!!
-7:14: can't be a merzbow album without a good SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Kyoko Hamara Air Clyster (12:14):
-0:19: sounds like the vocalist on Motorond Pt. 2 is back
-1:19: this is ridiculously loud and it's on very low volume. starting to get a headache.

Black Brain Of Piranese (13:26):
-0:01: HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-7:09: DRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Soft Parts 1 & 2 (17:30):
-0:05: JUST WHAT I NEEDED, MORE PEW PEW AND NOISE
-0:34: actually hard to believe this is the second last merzbow song i will probably ever listen to. and the next one's only 3:50!
-10:42: THIS SONG IS TOO LOUD AND GOES FOR TOO LONG
-15:20: EPIC CLIMAX OF SCREECHING

-3:52: IT FINISHED SO ABRUPTLY I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT

VERDICT: WHO THE FUCK CARES

Motorond

Part 1 (27:53):
-0:40: HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-12:16: annoying
-23:03: LOUD KSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH

Part 2 (31:23):
-0:30: jet engine. there is very little to say about this album as it is pretty much the same as the last 5 i've listened to... that, and i'm really tired of describing this shit, so i'm just settling with sound effects.
-4:24: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOH BLEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH
-5:54: sounds like yamantaka eye on vocals.
-13:23: left for 5 minutes with the music running. came back, it sounded EXACTLY THE SAME
-23:06: either the song is dying down a bit or my hearing is going
-25:44: god this vocalist is hilarious. BROOGH BRAAAAAAAAARGH
-29:03: song is finally dying down again...
-30:04: no never mind this song is not going to give my ears a rest

Hongkong Suite (24:53):
-0:13: lovely classical music sample. so romantic~
-0:36: BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
-4:13: CLASSICAL MUSIC IN ONE EAR + KSSSSSSSSSH IN THE OTHER EAR = BEST MUSICAL COMBINATION EVER
-14:40: some time ago this degenerated into mindless noise.

VERDICT: some parts were okay but for the most part this is a very 'whatever' album

Rhinogradentia

Rinogradentia (14:52):
-0:18: hey this has a beat. maybe it won't be terrible.

VERDICT: whatever

Red Magnesia Pink

Minus Zero (5:56):
-0:02: KSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-0:47: some PEW PEW PEW noises.
-5:20: the PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW noises combined with the KSSHHHHHHHH are more distracting than regular harsh noise

Etic (4:08):
-0:33 pretty much sounds like the last song
-1:12: lol classical sample

Delta X (4:35):
-0:15: more KSSSSSSSSH with some high pitched squeaky noises. annoying.

Tremolo Man (10:27):
-0:18: not a wall of sound, instead it's just annoying guitar riffs along with bleep bloops.
-2:06: music has turned into a wall of high pitched noises and HSSSSSH
-4:21: EEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-9:37: yep, this is annoying

Euclids Pickel (13:48):

-3:38: PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW

-3:59: KSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH
-6:42: BWEE BWEE BWEE BWEE BWEE BWEE

-6:37: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You - Bahn (5:27):
-1:40: KSSH - EEE -KSSH - EEE -KSSH -EEE

VERDICT: YOU WANT TO MAKE MY LAST DAY HARD, DO YOU MERZBOW? YOU'RE ON, MOTHERFUCKER

Liquid City

Liquid City 17-1-95 (19:11):
-0:05: KSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Exotic Apple

Sunohara Youri Is Suzanna Erica (10:16):

-10:05: song dies down when SUDDENLY, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Moon Over The Bwana A (5:30):
-0:15: tribal drums with looping industrial shit

-0:16: VWOOP VWOOP VWOOP VWOOP
-1:22: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-3:28: vocal samples. BON VOYAGE, MY FRIEND
-7:32: THIS SONG IS NOT VERY ROCKIN'
-11:34: guitar solo? i guess overall this was pleasant.

Apple Rock 2 (16:18):
-1:14: FUCK YEAH THIS SONG IS BANGIN'
-5:52: weedlyweedlyweedly guitar solo
-9:20: same thing has been looping for about 5 minutes

Apple Rock 3 (7:25):
-0:18: HELL YES IS THIS SOME VIDEO GAME MUSIC
-0:56: getting faster and more high pitched. noise kicks in.

Apple Rock 4 (7:50):
-5:43: amidst all the sampling and noisy guitars i didn't notice that the track had changed! oops. anyway this is pretty good, decent guitar riffs with electronics that aren't overly annoying.

VERDICT: i'll probably be keeping this, it's good. for merzbow, at least.

Electric Peekaboo (3:46):
-0:05: feedback
-2:32: ...feedback

Iron Caravan (5:33):
-0:05: intense, even by merzbow standards. a bit more interesting than the usual noise he puts out too.

Brain Ticket Death (34:01):

Music For True Romance Vol. 1

True Romance Theme (3:54):
-0:05:a looping drum sample coming from what sounds like a marching band sure is romantic~
-3:54: uh yeah that's the whole song.

Music Cave (2:27):
-0:16: distorted irish music (?) accompanied by a flute (? no idea). this is kind of cool...

She Floating (Preparation) (15:44):
-0:39: feedback. i was hopeful after the last two reasonably creative songs as well :(
-14:01: some guitar strumming accompanied by KSSSSSSSH at certain intervals. this song is pretty terrible.

She Mutilation (Main Ritual) (15:19):
-0:05: same drum loop from the first song
-7:33: classical music samples. i really have no idea what's going on in this song tbh
-11:30: noise

Injured Imperial Soldiers Marching Song (22:30):
-2:09: HELL YEAH DISTORTED TRADITIONAL JAPANESE MUSIC
-12:31: uh... yeah... most of this is distorted military music or whatever. it's pretty cool actually.
-17:30: song descends into glitchy electronics for a minute. then more samples!!!
-19:43: trumpets distorted so badly that they sound more like bagpipes.

VERDICT: aside from the two tracks that take up half of the album, this isn't too bad!

Stacy Q, Hi-Fi Sweet Leaf

Decomposed Cockoo (26:29):
-1:42: noise
-12:04: great, another track of ear rape

Stacy Q, Hi-Fi Sweet Leaf (26:29):
-0:18: distorted electronics which are mildly interesting.
-3:23: i think this is the second bass guitar that i've heard throughout the entire merzbox.
-3:41: sounds like he's actually sampling a motorbike revving... or possibly a chainsaw!
-5:09: this funk sample would have been a lot more appropriate on those "music for funk arts" songs
-6:22: IDM-ish beat amongst samples. this song is decent. much better than anything on the past few albums at least.
-14:21: song is a lot less interesting

VERDICT: second song is alright.

Hannover Cloud

Magnetic Void (20:35):
-0:01: OH GOD INSTANT KSSSSSSSSSSSSSH
-12:32: props for being the loudest merzbow song i've listened to, i guess?

Rocket Bomber (15:16):
-0:01: this track has an awesome name so i'm hoping it will be good!!
-0:15: DRUMS! this possibly won't be terrible.
-2:42: drums are gone, more ridiculously loud noise. and a guy shouting something incomprehensible.
-12:50: shit

Untitled Cock (6:30):
-1:41: basically all noise so far, although noticeably less harsh than the last two songs
-3:16: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Autopussy Go No Go 2 (13:24):
-2:59: again, less noise than the first two songs. somewhat interesting electronic fuckery i guess.
-8:14: hissing and loops. whatever.

VERDICT: loudest merzbow album i've listened to yet. and that's saying something. recommended if you feel like blowing out your ears!

Newark Hellfire - Live On WFMU, 1990

Newark Hellfire (58:45):
-2:41: doesn't sound like this is going to be any good, unlike his other live album
-14:08: HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH
-30:04: more than half way through now. so far it's just been screeching nonsense.
-41:05: sounds like a jet engine. i imagine this would be impressive to hear live, but sitting at a computer... not so much

VERDICT: annoying

-1:20: KSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Modular (15:13):
-0:14: drone.
-2:14: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Postfix (8:26):
-0:11: more interesting than the last four songs but still annoying.

SCUM/Severances

another album that is missing a song :(((

UP Steel CUM (16:23):
-0:05: DRRRRRRRRRRRRM and dark ambient nonsense
-1:37: finally, a song with drums. they aren't exactly fitting compared to the rest of the song, but it's interesting
-9:04: drums gone, harsh noise in their place.

Catabolism Variation Stereo No. 1 (14:01):
-2:41: noise. kind of interesting.
-6:44: this part of the song is surprisingly calm...
-7:00: the fuck is this? sounds like music from the wii
-7:31: pleasant electronic music drowned out by KSSSSSSSSSSH :(
-10:54: weird beat and something that sounds like explosions.

VERDICT: this was decent. probably because the 30 minute song was missing.
