Music reviews of Merzbeat

Music Review: my absolute favorite merzbow album hands down
Rating: 5 Stars

If you don't know Merzbow's name already, then this probably isn't the right album for you. This is noise. Not "loud rock and roll noise." Literally the genre noise. For previous Merzbow fans, this is by far one of his best, and kicks off his series of Merz- albums on Important records.

The tracks all feature beats (though not like any other electronic beat-based music I've ever heard). Totally mesmerizing. They suck me in. I love the abrasion, and yet it's not harsh like his other albums. I'd say this sounds more different from any of his other albums. And as you probably know, he has over 200 albums and is trying to release more albums than anyone else ever. (I think his goal is over 1000 albums).

Each track on the CD sounds totally different. Gorgeous. If I want to go into a trance, this is what I listen to. Merzbow is the Miles Davis of Japanese noise. There, I've said it.

There is a hidden track on here. A remix of Amlux (one of his classic albums in recent years) by Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto.

If you like noise, if you like Merzbow, or even if you want to try a totally different style of sound/music/listening experience, you should get this album.
