No, I promised to listen to every album all the way through and I will. I even honoured that with Merzbow!

If you want, just do the regular tracks, and not the bonus stuff.

I seldom if ever listen to bonus tracks

Just a note: you can if you want suggest more than one album at a time but my preference is for one from each member. If you decide to rec more than one, be aware that your choices will be split up by a five-member gap, in other words, your second choice will not be looked at until five choices (not including your first) have been, and then the same for your third. So it sort of makes not too much sense to do that, as you won't be getting a jump on anyone by flooding me with requests. It's best just to choose the one or maybe two you really want me to listen to and then wait for a while before suggesting more.

Okay well then go ahead and put me down for both "Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas" and "A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Sea When Absent", however I'm more interested in your thoughts on the former so put that one on the list first

Hehe. Cocteau.

And, as my last one for a good minute, I'm gonna throw in...


Violent Femmes - Hallowed Ground


And you can throw that ahead of my other two recs, cause I'm more curious about your thoughts on that one.

Title: Silver
Artiste: Jesu
Genre: Post-Metal/Shoegaze/Sludge (?)
Familiarity: Zero; heard one track I think on the now-defunct Mixtape thread
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_(Jesu_EP)

Track 1(Love) Not what I expected at all. Hard, heavy, almost distorted guitars and a quiet voice that is actually a little hard to make out (too low in the mix?). Slow song with a sense of grunge and doom metal about it I feel. Like it a lot.
Track 2(Love) More uptempo and energetic, and I can hear the singer better now. Shoegaze (if that's what this is) does tend to drown out the vocals a lot, so maybe that's it.
Track 3(Love) Slower, more crunching and buzzy even, but I like this one too.
Track 4(Love) Love the kind of marching beat on this one, the vocoders (?) and then kind of metal guitar near the end.

End result: Yeah, I really enjoyed this. If this is shoegaze, then I preferred it a whole lot more to MBV, which I could not get into at all. I'd also like to say thanks to Machine for choosing an album (EP) with only four tracks, which allowed me to get this one done really quickly.

So, Love or Hate? Definite Love

Chances of a full review: 8/10

Yeah, these are good points: although I said FCFS, if you want the order of your recs to be switched around I'm happy to do that, as I did with Goofle and Kitty. Just let me know, preferably before I add them to the list later tonight.

I gotta say I'm pretty surprised you liked Jesu so much. I thought that would be a definite hate.

Alright instead of the Sun Kil Moon album how about
La Dispute - Wildlife
I don't know if you'll like the vocals which are a mix between sort of yelled and spoken word, but I think there's a chance if you liking it a lot.

I was a little scared that he wouldn't like it.

I loved Benji. And that one song where he riffs on The War On Drugs, priceless.
