Our Take
Our Take
Some albums have the power to transport you to another dimension. "Rub Out The Word," the collaborative effort by Steve Buscemi and Elliott Sharp, does just that, but instead of another dimension, it feels like you've stumbled into a glitchy, avant-garde fever dream.
From the opening track, "Surrealist Manifesto," it's clear that this album is not for the faint of heart. Buscemi's spoken word poetry creates a sense of unease, while Sharp's experimental guitar work adds a layer of dissonance that keeps you on edge.
Tracks like "Dada Dada Dada" and "Cut-Up Technique" further showcase the duo's willingness to push boundaries and challenge listeners' perceptions of what music can be. It's like taking a trip through a Salvador Dali painting while being serenaded by a malfunctioning robot.
But despite its avant-garde nature, "Rub Out The Word" isn't without moments of beauty. The haunting melodies of "Automatic Writing" and the ethereal vocals on "Dream Sequence" provide some respite from the chaos, like finding a hidden oasis in the middle of a desert of noise.
In the end, "Rub Out The Word" is a challenging listen, but one that rewards those willing to take the plunge into its bizarre world. It may not be for everyone, but for those looking for something truly unique, this album is a must-listen. Just don't be surprised if you come out the other side questioning reality itself.
