I'm joining but probably will not have time this week to make a review. So just don't count on me this week, next week I will be good however.

Take the worst aspects of rap, funk, metal and techno... put them in a blender... add lots of dumb, juvenile lyrics... toss in a bunch of annoying video game sounds... hook a microphone up to the whole disgusting mess... turn the amp up... turn the blender on...
Every time I heard a promising funk riff, it was completely ruined almost immediately by an onslaught of audio diarrhea. It was as if the band occasionally stumbled onto a good riff by accident, didn't have any idea how to develop it or what to do with it, and just abandoned it to fall back on their ****ty, juvenile, nu-metal sound.
I couldn't make it through a single, complete song beyond the first 6 minutes of this audio drek.

2/10

I'm assuming this is Franky Girls you're writing about? Just it doesn't refer, but listening to it now for the first time I can see what you mean, and take it you're talking about this week's album.

The only problem with doing this is that it could actually actively encourage people to delay posting, as they'll say "Ah I can just post in the [insert album] thread so **** it." I think I'd rather not do that. It could get very messy.

I'll add you in, but only expect a review for next week's album. Cool?

It would be better if people posted the album they are discussing even if it should seem obvious.

Very good idea. I'll update all of my posts.

Mindless Self Indulgence - Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy

I'm not even going to bother with the matrix on this one. This was, hands down, the worst album I have heard here in this club, and possibly ever. Even OLD was better than this. It was juvenile to the max (even more than OLD) - singing "***got ***got ***got"? Real mature guys! It had no redeeming qualities for me, nothing I could pick out and more to the point it had THIRTY ****ING TRACKS! I know most of them were a minute or two at best, but when the music is this bad, that's too long. The band name is very apt because that's exactly what this is, on every level. If I could rate it lower than a Hate I would. By the time I'd suffered to track 15 and realised there was just as much yet to come, I turned the volume down and just let it play out. I was this close from just stopping listening altogether.

Absolutely awful. 0/10

Now I don't want to listen to this... Oh well. I signed up for this....

TH can't handle slightly innovative/non-pop music if it's of any consolation.

The Batlord · 03-28-2017, 05:07 PM

The more I hear the more I want to listen to this album.

Electrophonic Tonic · 03-28-2017, 05:16 PM

It has the best tracklist I've seen since Anal Cunt's It Just Gets Worse.

So its got that going for it. Which is nice.
