| 1.5 very poor | EasterInTheBatcave | December 7th 15 |
The majority of these improvisations are uninteresting, go nowhere atonal noise fests. Occasionally there is an interesting cut ("Slaughterhouse/Chase Sequence," "Fire and Ice (Club Scene)") but, with the record clocking in at over 56 minutes, they are few and far between.

Unfortunately, Heretic falls victim to incoherent meandering which forces the listener to desperately grab for any memorable passage they can scavange, making this less of an album and more a test of patience while Zorn and company sit back with smug grins. 2.8/5

For Heretic: Jeux des Dames Cruelles, Naked City split up into improvisational duos and trios and recorded (mostly) short songs as a soundtrack to a BDSM porno film (titled Jeux des Dames Cruelles, or, translated, Ladies Cruel Games). Were the band watching the porn while recording? I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that this is easily the group's weakest record yet. The majority of these improvisations are uninteresting, go nowhere atonal noise fests; occasionally there is an interesting cut ("Sweat, Sperm + Blood," "Slaughterhouse/Chase Sequence," "Fire and Ice (Club Scene)," which is the only song here featuring all six band members) but, with the record clocking in at over 56 minutes, they are few and far between. 2.1
