I mean, is that even music?

I'm not being flippant or trying to be funny, but...how does that shit even count as music?

The fuck is this shit?

I even went back to what I guess is the album that started it all, Ornette Colemans "The Shape Of Jazz To Come" thinking that perhaps what I was hearing now was some spaced out offshoot but nope, I found even that late 50's album completely unlistenable.

So any jazz heads in here that can advise me on "how" to make sense of it?
