To my ears, yesterday, what you describe was a good thing! In a way, this disc reminds me of an old-fashioned blowing / cutting session: a big group of horn players all trying to out-blow each other on consecutive solos. This album is sort of the european free improv version of Johnny Griffin's A Blowing Session. Definitely not what I always what I want to hear but, when I am in the mood for it, it really hits the spot.

Same here; Tony's comment sounded like a positive review to me...

Except for the thumbs down comment, I guess
John's comment pretty much described how I used to feel about most of Brötzmann's albums, but they're increasingly boring me now and they'll probably end up in my sale thread elsewhere on this board...
