Do you like Naked City? Good. Prelapse is basically another Naked City. John Zorn even plays sax on a bunch of these tracks, and he wrote a few too. The majority of the 23 songs are chaotic jazzcore, though there are slower, more ambient tracks as well ("Lachrym," "Fat Neck, No Neck"). The "Message for Alex" tracks are funny, and there are standouts ("Blood Sucking Freaks," "Screwball"). The vocals are underused, though, and the longer jazzcore tracks don't work well. Overall, Prelapse is a fun listen, but it's basically a less interesting Naked City.
