Enjoy it but meh. Hard pass.
These were my thoughts at first. It all seemed too random and emotionless. But the more I listened, the more I began to appreciate the sound design, and once I'd crossed that hurdle, something clicked - it eventually became 'music' that I enjoyed.
Exai was the album to do it for me, which in hindsight seems bizarre, as it was likely their least accessible record at the time. 2 hours of fairly abrasive experimental tracks. (Of course since then we've had 4-hour and an 8-hour albums, making Exai a walk in the park by comparison!)
I'd recommend trying again, and maybe you too will have a eureka moment!
