You don't understand... when I listen to NOISE, I want to listen to only the BEST NOISE. That my friends, is why when I want to listen to NOISE I listen to MERZBOW'S PULSE DEMON. KING OF NOISE

4.0 excellentMeridiu5 | June 11th 18

70 minutes with something nasty swimming inside your brain

Bump

3.0 goodPanty420 | June 4th 18

This is one of the more boring Merzbow albums and it saddens me that Pulse Demon is his most famous work, it's really just fiddling with static and there are way better albums, which are well recognized too, like 1930 or Tauromachine or Venereology.

Bump

3.5 greatrocktheboat | May 3rd 16

Bizarrely interesting, fascinating, something that you just... want to hear more of it.

Bump

0.0 RYMsfullofscenesters | October 27th 13

For the record, harsh noise was never experimental or groundbreaking. It's just psychedelia with a GRRR >:[ aesthetic. Like most ambient music its value is exactly what you project into it. In other words: new age music for people with fedoras/intellectual inferiority complexes. I'm not saying that makes it bad.

Bump

0.0 Treeman | July 3rd 12

really not the greatest but seriously awesome album art.

Bump

0.0 Bitchfork | July 22nd 10

Besides the ten seconds of taiko drum funfest that's found in "Tokyo Times Ten" this album is essentially Merzbow taking the most boring pieces of noise, putting them on repeat for twenty minutes at a time and then just kinda letting it go on its own directionless path.

Bump

3.5 greatTheWayfarerElectric | April 17th 10

The beginning of Akita's musical decline stems Pulse Demon's meandering nature.
