Experimental music is always hard to review, because my reviews are based on the assumption that a band wants to make music that sounds good. If a band’s intention is to irritate the hell out of you, and they succeed, does that make them recommendable?

24 Hour Flu have a somewhat steadily traditional melodic and percussive backbone, but they throw in things to make themselves unlikeable – bloopy electronica, draaaaawn out shrill-ass notes on string instruments (jesus christ, stop it!), indecipherable vocal lines (or are they heavily distorted guitar notes?), and exceptionally long song durations. The latter is the worst. Even if some of these compositions are sonically interesting, they do get old after the 7-minute mark.

I praise 24 Hour Flu for being incredibly annoying, pretentious, and unnecessary. Because that is the point, right?

Bottom Line: Similar to the flu – a whole lot of discomfort and projectile vomiting.
Notable Tracks: The 90-second one. Cuz it was only 90 seconds.
