...Worst Rock and Roll Album Ever? Exena Cervenka's Unabomber Album




Exena Cervenka of the punk band X reading excerpts from the Unabomber Manifesto with free jazz experimental music playing in the background. At this point she had lengthened her name to Cervenkova. When people talk about worst rock and roll albums ever made, I hear Having Fun with Elvis on Stage the Elvis record without any music, and Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music which is 2-hours of laired guitar feedback,given as answers a lot. The Lou Reed is certainly unlistenable, but it has adherents. I’m going to make a vote for this album, which I hadn’t thought of in the longest time until last night.
It’s worthless. The Unabomber was crazy and couldn’t get his work published without killing people to get it attention. Anders Breivik apparently plagiarized the Unabomber recently and might be even more boring, but Kaczynski was massively boring. Exene Cervenka is kind of an idiot. A lot of people in bands are idiots. Punk rock is the world’s biggest “was”. She was something like 16 years past her prime when she put this album out in the 90’s. It’s dreadful.
You think you could sit through this crap for 45 minutes? I don’t.
Wait, Exena was married to Viggo Mortenson- Viggo Mortenson couldn’t get a better looking wife then that? That’s inexplicable.
