Subject: Zorn Completist in the building...

I became a Zorn completist because, honestly, I like nearly everything enough to admit that I got my $$$ worth... Even if I really didn't like one song, usually another song on the album was made the purchase worth while... A trade-off of sorts... I suppose I was a bit T-ed off because I'm used to really finding interesting, redeeming things on all of Zorn's releases, yet this album seemed poorly thought out and trivial... The last track and track 2 are okay, but it c(w)ould've been quite appropiate to put those 2 songs on some other album... Track 3 is complete bullshit... Even Merzbow would puke after that one. Ha ha ha That's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
This experience has liberated me... I will now only buy the Zorn albums with interesting musician's on them... Unless I hear them first and after doing so, find that it's worth the $$$... Live and learn... Thanks for the comments all, I did find them generally accurate and helpful.
I suppose I was suffering from a "Zorn can do no wrong" syndrome... For the most part anyway... Now I've seen the little man behind the curtain, like the Wizard of Oz, and it's a good eye opener... He's only human and of course I realize that he can like things that I detest... After all, we're all uniquely human...
