i mention death grips a lot because he's more well known as their drummer and feel that most people go into this expecting something similar. i feel that it is similar but with different influences made readily obvious, such as Beefheart and Zappa as mentioned.
i hope that covers everything you wanted to know, but i want to clarify. i prefer smaller reviews because i believe it encourages conversation and asking questions. if everyone replied in highly structured lengthy reviews there might not be anything left to discuss. to each his own i suppose  |
No, you're okay on a rating, but at the end I need to total up whether an album received, in general, more likes, loves, mehs or hates, so I just wanted to know, as I couldn't figure from this (even though you recced it) whether or not you really liked it. So would that be a Like or a Love, for the final ratings when everyone is done?
And nobody has to do a long review. It's up to each person. I use the matrix as I find it an easier way to organise my thoughts rather than have to write a full review. But a few lines is fine; just make some sort of definitive conclusion at the end - I loved it, I hated it, I want to bury in in my garden and forget about it, I want to marry it etc.
