While others have been known to shun the piece as a purely unstructured noise.

The controversy arises as the songs tends to push, and effectively destroy, any sign of musical boundaries, with a seemingly unfocused view on anything. Though this is where the balance comes into play. I believe that it is this very unpredictability that uncovers a theme of disarray.
Considered a pure genius, Nurse with Wound leader Steve Stapleton has gone on to develop tonnes of avant-garde work, but none can come anywhere close to sounding as menacing as this. (here's the first three minutes):
But personally, I do love the song. It has influenced me greatly when creating my own music, helping me discover that there are no rules or boundaries within music, music is a form of art.
