No, he means it

Allegory

Boyd believes his own crap. He's just too chickens**t to do any of the things he suggests in his bad poetry. He's most famous for always being in the room with someone else that had talent while they were doing something that mattered. Always a bridesmaid...

Excellent but deranged!

This is a very cool yet depressingly funny release. I know that might not make sense but this guys poetry is so cryptic, it'll make you laugh. The music is also quite interesting. At times it's like Enio Morricone and others are like the Velvet Underground. It features a broad cast of supporting like minded musicians. In conclusion, I think he's trying to be funny, at least I hope so. Otherwise someone needs to alert the authorities!

They Say All Music Guide

The Way I Feel is a postmodern pastiche of sounds by avant-garde noise artist Boyd Rice. But, far more accessible than his other work, this album combines Scott Walker sounding orchestration, ’60s psychedelic folk, Burt Bacharach style love songs, circus music, and sci-fi atmospherics into one grand, sweeping gesture. With Boyd Rice’s cynical and at times apocalyptical, spoken word commentary, the album becomes a doomsday, late-night sketch comedy/tragedy show. On “People,” Rice asks, “Do you ever think about what a lovely place the world would be without all the people?” and ponders, “Have you ever dreamed about killing all the stupid people? Not just the unintelligent people, but the sort that don’t know anything about anything yet seem to have opinions about everything.” The Way I Feel will remind listeners of Baz Luhrmann’s “Everbody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen),” but Boyd Rice delves deeper into the genre. This is a fascinating trip, but be warned, it loses its luster with repeated listenings and Rice’s misanthropic observations are not for everyone. – Charles Spano
