It’s long overdue.

The Weird Albums Series returns after a three-month hiatus. WAS isn’t my most popular series, but I like writing them. This review focuses on my love for experimental music, and I can’t ask for more.

You may be wondering, “What’s the Weird Albums Series?”

I’m glad you asked.

WAS is a (somewhat) monthly review in which I discuss albums that go beyond typical music structures. This is the twenty-ninth entry. Today’s album is the concept LP Adultery by the metal band Dog Fashion Disco.

In each installment, I explain the album’s background, my thoughts, and its legacy. Then, I rate the album using the Beefheartian Scale. Experimental music enthusiasts invented this rating system to describe albums that resemble Captain Beefheart.

A ten in the rating system means: “Hot damn, that’s weird!”

A ten in the rating system means: Hot damn, that’s weird!

Nine and six: It’s weird, but not weird enough.
