Party Intellectuals is the debut album by jazz fusion trio Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog.

Party Intellectuals is easily Ribot's most fun album to date and one of his best".

[2] PopMatters' Zeth Lundy rated the album 7 out of 10, saying, Ceramic Dog is Ribot's first true rock band to call his own, but it’s also an experiment in accessible dissonance—a rock band that spikes the rudimentary nature of the form with aggressive improvisation and noodly turbulence ...

The more challenging tracks on Party Intellectuals are the epic mood pieces that freak out in frame-by-frame slow motion ...

While a lot of the tracks on Party Intellectuals delight in ripping conventions apart (or, in the case of those epic tracks, deliriously attempt to discover some new ones), most also allow for some truly batshit crazy guitar solos by Ribot.
