Imma throw in another favorite of mine in the post rock area

Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Not my favorite Tortoise album, but it's probably objectively the best one.

Title: You're dead!
Artiste: Flying Lotus
Genre: Experimental/Electronic/Hip-hop

Track 1 (Hate) Interesting but a little confused. Not as bad as I thought but very short so hard to say
Track 2 (Hate) Yeah, not mad about this. Very jazzy.
Track 3 (Hate) Don't like this either. Mad horns are not my style, as I've mentioned before
Track 4 (Hate) Forty seconds? Seriously? Packs a lot into it but I don't really like it.
Track 5 (Hate) Oh great! Fast rapping. Just what I want to hear.
Track 6 (Hate) Yeah, this just drives me mad.
Track 7 (Love) This one isn't bad; has a kind of post-rock/prog thing going
Track 8 (Hate) Sort of the same as track 4. Too much in too short a space
Track 9 (Love) This is splendid; slow sensuous soul with a touch of gospel
Track 10 (Love) This is just gorgeous; slow, dreamy, almost ethereal. Reminds me of a slower version of “The Whale” by ELO. Shut up.
Track 11 (Love) This is really nice too.
Track 12 (Love) This is interesting. I like it.
Track 13 (Love) This is nice too
Track 14 (Hate) Mad horns again, though the tune is ok. Horns ruin it for me though. Pity: we were getting into a nice groove there.
Track 15 (Love) Ah we're back on track. Lovely little piece.
Track 16 (Love) Yeah this is pretty sweet too.
Track 17 (Love) yeah, very ethereal, very soft and gentle, like this a lot.
Track 18 (Love) Kind of a continuation of the last track but with a bit more punch
Track 19 (Love) This is really good too.

End result: Started off badly --- really badly --- and I expected to hate this. But although I don't love it I certainly see a lot of good in it. More than just a hip-hop album certainly, if it can even be called that.

So, Love or Hate? I'd have to say Love, surprising myself

Chances of a full review: 5/10

Glad you sort of liked it. It's interesting that the first run of tracks is one of the highlights of the album for me. Weird how different people's tastes are, isn't it?

Also straight in with a recommendation if you haven't heard it: Low by David Bowie.

Hipster douchebags I guess. I'm an indie twat, fortunately.
