4.0 excellentNickLizard49 | January 4th 17

Some people might say this album is only self-referential rubbish, but at the time it was extremely innovative. The fact that the concept is simple (17 tracks of locked grooves) doesn't mean it is not artistic and unique in its own way of conveying concepts of weirdness, disturbance and "pagan muzak" (by only using looping noises). Also some elements of the first pressing are curious: the vinyl could be played at any speed, and it included an off center hole drilled for an alternate method of play. Intriguing.

1.5 very poorMadnessfan34537 | August 14th 13

This album..I'm not particularly fond of it. The reason being, is it's simply boring in my eyes. Trust me, I love all sorts of Experimental music, but Pagan Muzak is nothing special to me. I've seen many people act like it's a landmark for industrial and experimental music, but personally I highly disagree. It's 17 songs, each a minute long, that consists of a 1 second loop of some sort of sound. I have no idea how it was done, but I don't find it impressive. I don't get the hype I've sen throughout the years. Another legendary Industrial album, 20 Jazz Funk Greats, by Throbbing Gristle, I find much more impressive. But anyways, back onto Pagan Muzak, I don't like it simply because I can't "get into it" I can't..feel it. I've tried to, I really have, but I just don't get it. I don't feel anything when listening to it, as while listening to another Industrial album, I get feelings of Chaos, Hopelessness, Destruction, etc. Here I feel nothing. But I'm completely okay with other fans loving it. I just don't.
