Background and reception
Tim Griggs of AllMusic called it "semi-organized noise." Griggs's second theory is that Metheny simply made the kind of album he wanted to make. The cover of Zero Tolerance for Silence carried an endorsement by Thurston Moore, guitarist for Sonic Youth, who called the album "an incendiary work by an unpredictable master." Critics have been less kind. Ben Watson of the music magazine The Wire called it "rubbish". ==Track listing==
