I'm actually glad that I discovered Albare. A part of my studies in the world of music is to find albums people hate in order to compare them to the ones they love and see if I agree. Now I don't always agree with them, as I admit to thinking Kenny G is nowhere near as bad as the jazz community states. He's an adult contemporary artist, and I think the standards of that genre should be taken into account. Besides, if you compare him to Albare, you may see Kenny G in the same light I saw Lady Gaga after comparing her to Corey Feldman.
Albare's debut is an acid fusion album where the hip hop and funk influences sometimes feel too strong or too forces. While the album has a fair amount of variety to it, every single melody feels half-assed or incomplete, like Albare decided that jazz was all about playing random notes in inappropriate places and calling it cool. While it's not the worst jazz album I've heard, that's the same mentality that made Manos such a bad movie. No joke. Albare obviously just wanted to be cool with this album. I barely felt any real groove coming from any one of his songs. Sure, the acid fusion genre combination was pretty cool, but that's literally the only compliment I have for this album. If I had anything else that wasn't "negative" to say, I'd say the production didn't fail.
