1.5 very poorA.R.O. STAFF | September 16th 17

I'd only call two or three of these songs actual music, and the only ones worth any time cut out after barely a minute. It's just noise, overlong, annoying, grating, uninteresting noise. Boy this one ticked me off. // Track Ratings: No, No, No!: 5.5, Monastic Living I: 3, Elegy of Colonial Suffering: 3, Frog Pond Plop: 2.5, Vow Of Silence: 4.5, Monastic Living II: 5.5, (Alms for the Poor), Poverty and Obedience: 5, Prison Conversion: 4.5

Though interesting to change it up a bit with the sound, it got annoying after a while..

2.0 poorTheManMachine | January 23rd 16

While the antecedent full-length Content Nausea was a charismatic fuck-around hash that can arguably still hang with their more decisive work, this EP here is more along the lines of a nugatory fuck-around hash that just don't give a fuck. Presumably conceived for the sole purpose of testing+trolling fans/non-fans alike, the minute-long muffled kick-off of "No, No, No!" doubles as the solitary vocal performance and a possible mission statement: as in, "no, no, no, we refuse to make this worth your while, here are some discordant spur-of-the-moment jam-outs that barely reach middling and are of no actual consequence whatsoever." And believe me, I'm all for crudely wasting people's time -- but, er, mission accomplished?
