I never understood why avant garde rock bands are called "ahead of their time". Time will literally never catch up with them, and their music has nothing to do with anyone's time, now or in the future. Those fancy chops, odd meters, and semi-discordant jazz horns will never blare out of cars speakers or function as the soundtrack to any mass activity of daily life. Band members will never taste the sweet n' stinky pleasures of rock hedonism. They will, in fact, always make music for small rooms of dedicated head nodders. Their albums will bob in and out of print. Sometimes they will be blogged.
Interesting fact about these guys — their drummer was also in Soundgarden. How's that for making a shitty concession to getting with the times?
