The Myth of Rock is the first full-length album by industrial/hip hop artists Consolidated, released in 1990.[5][6] The album peaked at #24 on the CMJ Radio Top 150 while the album track "Dysfunctional Relationship" posted at #24 on the CMJ Radio Top Cuts.[7]
Reception[edit]
Jason Pettigrew at Alternative Press lauded The Myth of Rock as "a fascinating palette of noises, beats and musique concrete" and noted that, on a political level, the band is intelligent and well informed, but warned that "nobody likes to be bludgeoned... while listening to records."[3] Paul Davies from Q Magazine concurred with 'the sound is a bruisingly, hard-hitting and uncompromising as the message".[4]
