Familiarity: Zero
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faust_IV#Track_listing

Track 1(Love) Bit harsh to start with, and I see it's over eleven minutes long. No easing into this one, then! Meh, it kind of settles down after about three or four minutes and I can start getting into it. Not as bad as I had feared it would be. And it went by faster than expected. Yeah, pretty good really.
Track 2(Hate) Not mad about this; kind of reggae feel to it I don't care for
Track 3(Love) This is nice; quite relaxed and low-key, piano at the end is pretty cool.
Track 4(Love) Meh, it's okay, nothing that great
Track 5(Love) Very progressive rock here; like the bass. Great sax too. Oh and some wonderful keyboard work. Yeah, really like this one.
Track 6(Love) (Tracks 6 and 7 are merged on the Spotify copy I have) Nice gentle track, though the French singing is a little weird
Track 7(Love) This is nice, a good closer. Lovely piano and fine guitar.

End result: I don't know what it is about this album; I almost feel as if I haven't heard enough to form an opinion. It seems a little disjointed to me. But what I heard I mostly liked. I just kind of feel like I've been short-changed in some way. Odd.

So, Love or Hate? For the record though, it's a Love.

Chances of a full review: 0/10
