Zu - Carboniferous (2009)

Somehow I had just missed that Zu had released a new album (or rather it had leaked) until just recently. Perhaps not a brilliant album, it's kind of corny with a mathy sound. Yet I couldn't help finding this to be very catchy while still maintaining an acceptable level of creativity and innovation. Much reminiscent of John Zorn's jazzcore-ish stuff. This album manages to travel from heavy doom metal (almost sludge) to math rock to punk jazz without creating a sense of disorientation. It is certainly not free jazz as some people seem to believe though. Stop distorting your bass and sax, I'm weak for that.
