4.0 excellentEasterInTheBatcave | June 11th 16

It's Understood is an ironic title. The record covers genres as diverse as jazz, chiptune, death metal, and bluegrass, and in that way tries hard to not be understood. The cover art supports this idea-- a young man who has willingly shaved the top of his head bald, thus adopting a hairstyle commonly thought undesirable. Most would not understand why he would do this. Anyway, the music on It's Understood is utterly fantastic. Wildly creative, diverse, and it never takes itself too seriously. The members of Estradasphere are all phenomenal musicians, as evidenced by their ability to play so many different styles of music so well. Not quite a 5-- the mixing of the metal parts isn't great, and the closing track drags a bit-- but a jaw-dropping listen nonetheless.

3.5 greatScarlette Johansson is beautiful, Maya Hawk is beautiful, Margot Robbie is beautiful, women are beau | November 21st 20

There are stupid or overblown moments on this, but first of all, it's still über fun, and
overall this filled my craving for weird Balkanian prog pretty well.

4.5 superbthis is the best album that i\\\\\\\'ve (n)ever heard in my entire life. | February 4th 16

"As great Bjork and Radiohead are to the genre of electronica, as well Mr. Bungle for funk, I think I've found an experimental essential to the jazz genre."rlmao

Borderline insanity made sane. Even w/ the bloated first track, which is pretty awesome anyway, this album was an experience unlike anything I've heard from any experimental group. As great Bjork and Radiohead are to the genre of electronica, as well Mr. Bungle for funk, I think I've found an experimental essential to the jazz genre. Take large bowl of jazz, 1 cup of classical, 1 cup of funk, 1/2 cup of metal, 1 tbsp of folk/bluegrass, and sprinkles of electronica & samples. Then... Oh no, I'm getting hungry again!
