Album Notes & Community Reviews

True to its title, this chaotic solo effort from the infamous Los Angeles impresario and producer is a manic, proto-punk assault on the listener's senses. The deeply strange album layers Fowley's aggressive, stream-of-consciousness rants over primitive, heavily distorted garage rock backing tracks, prefiguring the punk explosion of the subsequent decade.
