    One of my favourite albums by anyone. As a shonky “musician “ it’s also one of my biggest influences alongside Bowie. The people who have recorded with me should count themselves lucky that they met me and got to hear this otherwise they’d still be wallowing in mediocrity. Actually, they undoubtedly are still doing just that, hopeless fucks.
    This sounds “great”. If you’re one of the crazies who hang out on the Hoffman forum you’ll hate this. No blues solos, loads of originality, and recorded after 1975. It sounds so crap it’s brilliant. I don’t care about DR numbers or graphs. Just enjoy a timeless, lunatic piece of beautiful noise. It annoys. Good.
