You have a point with your comparisons, but aside from Throbbing Gristle,
the others didn't really shape the noise scene that is in full bloom today.
In any case, I really don't want to make this a debate, I just thought you
were a little harsh on WN. It was worth my money, and it is certainly worth
any TG or Merzbow enthusiast their bucks.

Sorry, but bands of that time period like SPK, Nurse With Wound, hell
even Throbbing Gristle were doing far more interesting things -
Whitehouse didn't do anything 'first'. As far as the 'novelty' of
hearing Whitehouse, yeah sure, everyone should be forced to listen to
their stuff at least once just to know it exists. But as far as
records that hold up to the test of time, Whitehouse don't cut it...
