If this was an all time list, it would be there. The run of three songs from Old Compton Street Blues, through Mary Foster, to Life and Life Only are the best he has ever done, and then there’s the title track…

Wow would not have expected to see Merzbow in a list of most listened to albums.
Owning some Merzbow albums I really love them when in the mood, but have to admit this happens not too often.
