Whether it's a short loop or a drawn out long loop, it's still a loop.
And without any progression or emotion, loops get boring. I've given
"Music for Adverts..." plenty of time, and it still has failed to grow
on me as some promised. While there are a few tracks that are
interesting and intriguing, the album as a whole is mediocre at best.
