Query: Aggressiveness and emotion do not great music make

Contrary to the Amazon "best of '98" review above, I believe that MBM represents much of what's WRONG with the current wave of "electronica" groups. What I perceive in this cd is techno effects for their own sake, wild, bangy drumming that seems ultimately aimless, dissonant jazz effects that worked for Coltrane but seem pretentious in this pop music context, and the kind of pretentious lyrical aggressiveness that has made alternative rock music a bore in recent years. There is some inventiveness here, and people who like their music noisy and loud will like some of this, but I found it disappointing.
