Easy Listening... For Difficult F***heads is an album by Pigface, released in 2003. [4] [5] The album includes contributions from Chris Vrenna, Fallon Bowman, Keith Levene, Edsel Dope, Jared Louche, Jason Miller, Penn Jillette, En Esch, Chris Connelly, and Steven Seibold.
The Washington Post wrote that the album "emphasizes hammering disco-metal but also encompasses Bowie-ish art-croon ('Miss Sway Action') and a sort of raga-rock ('Closer to Heaven')." [2] The Cleveland Scene called the album "coherent and engaging: a good starting point for the curious and an improvement for the longtime fan." [6] The Pitch wrote that it combines "the seemingly disparate worlds of atmospheric head music and straight-ahead hardcore in a way that satisfies both sides of the brain." [7] The Chicago Tribune called Easy Listening "a kaleidoscopic blitz of psychedelia, decadent grooves and corrosive riffing." [8]
