Review by ZeroSymbolic7188 for Esoteric - Epistemological Despondency (1994)

Would you like if somebody interupted your funeral with a bunch of grating alarms and industrial noise? Me neither. Pass.

The above was all I had to say about this album, and a year later it still is. I looked around online to see how it affected others. I was able to scrounge up a whopping 3 reviews of the album, all containing the buzzwords "grating", "challenging", "exhausting", but then they gave it very high ratings, and I can only attribute this to the classic high school move of trying to score cool points by pretending to like something that sucks. I never understood that mentality and I still don't. It is all three of those things though; grating, challenging, and exhausting, chiefly the later. 

Fun fact you can make this album at home. Simply set your bed next to your clothes washer, and one of those vintage alarm clocks-you want that drilling beep. Now drink a 5th of southern comfort, stay up all night, and do a load of laundry as the alarm clocks sounds. It will be challenging, grating, and exhuasting. Doesn't sound like fun? Well, neither is listening to this shit.
