    Really challenges the listener to pretend to like it!

    Kendrick Lamar song is good, but too many tracks that are just impossible to listen to, unless you are into weird jazz

    The Emperors New Clothes springs to mind. Absolutely awful. Howard Moon would love it. I have enjoyed some of his earlier work but have found this impossible to like after multiple listens. Its too frantic.

    This is still a grand, holistic statement, superbly structured in its 38 minutes of ebb and flow. [Nov 2014, p.66]

    Rich in texture and tone, enlivened rather than swamped by guests and made thrilling by his ability to make his hyperactivity as restful as it is relentless. [Dec 2014, p.110]

    You're Dead begs complete listens as a whole, with tracks just long enough to capture particular thoughts before you're pushed onward.
