Bülbüls are a family of medium sized songbirds. In general they are resistant to human pressures on the environment and are tolerant of disturbed habitat. The song of the Bulbul is described as "the most unattractive noises made by any bird" (encyclopedia)

"that is a fine day," i said. "what are you doing with a lamb in the white morning?" "i can give you a question as good as that," he responded. "can you notify me of the meaning of a bulbul?" "a bulbul?" "what would you say a bulbul is?" this conundrum did not interest me but i pretended to rack my brains and screwed my face in perplexity until i felt it half the size it should be. "not one of those ladies who take money?" i said. "no." "not the brass knobs on a german steam organ?" "not the knobs." "nothing to do with the independence of america or suchlike?" "no." "a mechanical engine for winding clocks?" "no." "a tumor, or the lather in a cow's mouth, or those elastic articles that ladies wear?" "not them by a long chalk." "not an eastern instrument played by arabs?" he clapped his hands. "not that but very near it," he smiled, "something next door to it. you are a cordial intelligible man. a bulbul is an austrian rockband. what do you think of that now?" (flann o'brien)

 

the critics say:

 

"dont rock in any sense but draggle scratching across the concrete"

"anyway this all sounds much too sophisticated"

"oldmanish humtata from stoneageville. bare horror!"

"not even 22 minutes and even thats too long"

"gruntpsychosis of a caterpillar"

"dramaturgical this all is played consequently anticlockwise "

"bulbul forward drug-consumption, cause: only a shot will help you with that shit"

"the first three songs are one big off-target-playing with yelling and feedback"

"distorted chants, merciless sound and in between someone is always practicing the guitar"

"scrabbling with duck quacking and swoosh"

"how can one rate an album where neither the music nor the musicians can be taken seriously?"

"disturbed wagmetal"

"the border to insanity has already been crossed. and thats how it should be, otherwise this kind of *music* would hardly be bearable"

"herbert achternbusch of the headbangers"

"got an unsettling impression in a world of blow-bubbles"

"it makes absolutely no sens at all! a glitchy electronic thing with a silly monty python chorus and bad drum machine. the rockier stuff is pretty bad"

"the singing is annoying at best"

"stump is trump"

"where three madmen make a nosie"

"veritable goofball-music"

"within an hour this trio is overstepping more boundaries of good taste than i was even aware of them existing"

"without any mass appeal"

"but most vexing is that too much of this is reminiscent of *flight of the bublebee* as composed for a symphony of max patches"

"the question is: who should be listening to crap like that"

"this leaves me cold"
