While my 2007 best of the year movie list will appear in the first Maroon of the quarter, I will not be submitting a music list this year. I have admittedly weird tastes, yes, but this year, my weird taste has been validated more in the press than in past years.

The long review I wrote follows in the comments. Its bottom line: A memorable showcase of raw musical synergy which had moments of perfection in the art of dissonant noise.
