Its best moments were its most focused ones: swinging vamps propelled by Moye's drumming, pointedly political poetry declaimed by Moor Mother — her "We Are on the Edge" is the title of an Art Ensemble album due April 26 — and a perpetual-motion tour-de-force by Mitchell, using circular breathing for a stretch of nonstop piping and squealing and scurrying that insisted, without a word, that after 50 years the Art Ensemble isn't finished.

Meanwhile, the president is exiting 2017 with a Twitter tour de force: He again falsely claimed the tax bill's repeal of the individual mandate "essentially Repeals (over time)" Obamacare; tweeted fake math about his administration's gains against ISIS, deleted that tweet and replaced it with the correct version, and later retweeted another version of the tweet with the same bad math; revived his feud with Vanity Fair; and accused Amazon of swindling the US Postal Service.

Nevertheless, there's nothing to say or to understand about this record, which is a flamboyant tour de force loaded with powerful bursts: "La Carte" ("The Map"), "L'Électricité" ("Electricity"), and the sublime "L'Insecte Dans Ma Bouche" ("The Insect in My Mouth"), a lush and magnetic jungle of innumerable ramifications in the same genre as Berlin (yes, the album by Lou Reed, specifically), with wide open windows, bathed in sunshine, alternating between lashes with a whip and caresses with elegant abandon.

If Stella's ambition and insatiable visual voracity were exhilarating at first (his titles reference such a wide range of fields that they endow his undertaking with a universal flavor), the paintings' often overbearing size and physicality — somehow the smaller versions are not as convincing as the larger works (size matters!) — with each ranking as a formalist "tour de force" in its own right, also left the viewer, time and again, with the unsettling feeling of being wrestled to the ground (vestigial remains of his wrestling days in high school?).

But well past a dozen engaging passes I still can't guarantee how replayable they'll eventually prove, which I wouldn't say of five of the remaining six tracks, in particular two heart songs: the multivocal, jam-packed, basic-sounding 3:55-minute tour de force "Lost Without You," in which a frightened old man eavesdrops on a conversation between his kids and his dying wife, and the made-for-TV "She Chose Me," which my wife and I certified as a great pop song by feeling it personally and individually even though it's autobiographical for neither of us.

The many Canadian redneck jokes in this inexplicable action-adventure fantasy starring a pickup-driving, beer-guzzling hick named Rowsdower all culminate in one wonderful song about this nation's ongoing beef with our neighbor to the north: And if that weren't enough, Rowsdower ends up with his own theme song in the closing credits, here edited into a fittingly Rowsdower-filled fanvid: Say what you will about Werewolf (episode 904), but the music's actually not terrible — and it's instantly made 3000 times better by the tour de force musical accompaniment Mike and the bots give it in the closing credits.
