5.0 out of 5 stars Creative, dynamic, clever., February 3, 2003

These guys are good. On a pure sound front they're pretty noisy with a lot of repetitive backing highlighted by a never ending assault of new sounds created by god knows what. Then they add chanting, multiple singers, crazy horns (basically a sort of jazzy wail that interrupts the lyrics from time to time) and a little bit of spoken word. Oh, and sometimes the album goes full jazz for about two minutes with just the horns and drums (violent emotional jazz at that). I think the word I'm looking for here is 'eclectic' and I mean that in an entirely positive way. Highly recommended to all true hipsters, retro mod femmes, and people who generally like good music. (and by the by, if you get the chance go see them live, they're out of San Diego and play fairly often around the area)

definately one of the better bands to come out of san diego...this album is by far the best album (by a new band) that i have heard in a long time. chaotic punk/hardcore mixed with noisy free jazz. their live shows are a fun dance party! yay!

4.0 out of 5 stars what type of music is this?, March 13, 2003

Ok, here goes: This CD is not for an average Joe. The Plot is an energetic group that doesn't really fall under a catagory. They're an excellent choice for anyone who is open-minded and up for trying something new, but if you're looking for a produced studio sound, you might want to look somewhere else.
