    The resulting clash of classicial forms and electronics is a startling mix of chance and design. [Oct 2009, p.108]

    As a stand-alone album it's ultimately more laudable than loveable. [Oct 2009, p.92]

    Braxton ventures far from the strictures of traditional rock. Indeed, he's cleared passport control and stepped into the realms of modern classical music. [Oct 2009, p.103]
  4. Under The Radar

    Alas, most of Market's tracks work more as sound experiements than actual songs. [Fall 2009, p.62]

    His third solo album is promoted as "new classical," but "J. City" sounds more like a grievous stab at alt-rock.

    Absolutely phenomenal record. It blew me away to the point that I couldn't sleep for two days. Finally, the genre of music I've felt had theAbsolutely phenomenal record. It blew me away to the point that I couldn't sleep for two days. Finally, the genre of music I've felt had the most potential for years has come out of the woodwork and shown the world that it is not **** around. Optimistic yet raging with intensity. Wildly intellectual, but isn't a prick about it. It takes everything I love about Battles and turns it into real, respectable classical music... created for the 23rd century Full Review »
