Avey Tare & Kria Brekkan release an entire album worth of music with all the songs backward.

Critics are annoyed:

"A whole album of this one effect, however, the reverse piano and reverse guitar and reverse voices going from decay to attack over and over and over again for 31 minutes... man, it's not just boring, it actually becomes depressing. It all kind of bleeds together into one bland and undifferentiated sonic blob that I never need to hear again."

For reference here's a reversed track, and the track as originally recorded.

Comments

I honestly can't decide which one is worse.

Yeah seriously. Whispy under-produced folk whine-rock might just be better backward, but I'm no expert....

Indeed. This is my problem with new music, it just seems that no one actually cares about producing intelligent music anymore. Sad really.
