Rolling Stone's 454th greatest album of all time (2020)
I had heard of this album through Elis James' podcast as he is a big fan. I was expecting it to be much more MC5-style garage rock, so was surprised at how experimental and noisy it was. While a little disappointed (based on my own overbuilt expectations), I will give it another listen later.

"Poetic and oh-so-funky, Orson Welles’s filmic essay on deception has balls of experimental steel. Cobbled together in his later years of European exile, it’s both a cheeky thesis on the nature of fakery and the best example I can imagine of filmmaking as giddy, childlike play. Now if someone would only do a decent DVD of The Trial, we’d be in business. (Nudge, nudge.)"

Rolling Stone's 441st greatest album of all time (498th in the 2020 list)
The punk-rock ethic but without the music. The album of noise starts quite well, but in the end is just a monotonous noise with someone muttering and then screeching over the top. I'm all for noisy experimental music but this was just generally unlistenable noise (I realise I sound like an old man saying that),
