Christophilax: The Songs' Remains
[self-released]

This is not good, and perhaps its worse than bad. Christophilaxs The Songs Remains is just noise masturbation. I dont want to be a sourpuss and rain all over anyones creative parade, but Lou Reed already did a double album of just noise, and it only needed to be done once. The thing is that Lous was a joke, an attempt to get out of his contract. Sadly, this is not, and after reading some of Christophilaxs reviews, some people oddly enough enjoy this rubbish. I know this was not created for my ears, and maybe I am just to mainstream in my choice of music, but Ill argue with anyone that The Velvet Undergrounds 17-minute noise-rock romp Sister Ray is the greatest rock song ever, so I am a fan of artsy, noisy rock. This, however, I dont like, cant like, and in fact hate. But lets make one thing clear: I support anyones right to make music. So keep on going Christophilax; someone will enjoy your work.
