- Warning: This Album Contains...
- The All-Stars are partying pretty hard on this little gem... What is going
on here? Some of the more dizzifying pieces every put down on modern recording
devices are right here on this tape. "A New Year's Stupor" had the bright idea
of combining 3 conversations over atonal guitar rakes and bleeps, keeping all reason
just out of grasp as the listener tries to catch a fleeting glimpse of some sort of
reality in this swampy blizzard of perspective. The mistake is more or less repeated in another song
when four otherwise retarded monologues are spoken simultaneously amidst some banging
and yelling. Most noteworthy about this recording is Walt Meadornack's
first one-on-one with the listener in "Retrospective '99." He recounts the All-Stars' theories
and attitudes from the past few years and explains away a few misconceptions about the
group. Monumentous.
