Look, I get a decent idea of whether or not I'm going to like an album first time round usually. I may not like it but I can hear something in it that may grow on me. In those cases I will give it a second or even third chance. With "New wave" I heard nothing special. Could have been any indie band. Nothing excited me about it --- not even the bloody cellos! --- and nothing made me hate it so much that I never wanted to hear it again. I just simply thought it was below average, and after the way you guys had hyped it I was expecting to feel, I don't know, something. And I didn't.
I have far too heavy a workload to listen to albums twice that I didn't like, so it won't be spinning again here. As for TMR, that's never coming near my poor ears again. I'd listen to Cryptopsy or Cannibal Corpse before I'd go through that again!
