Used to run this as a section in my journal, but hey, I'll have a go at it out here in the wild, as it were.
Basic premise: I listen to an album I haven't been able to get into, or don't like, preferably one I believe I should like but just can't click with, and see if after time has passed I have better luck, or if it really is that bad.

No long-assed reviews, just basic thoughts and a quick yea or nay and definitely NO ****ING RECS Batty!

I might check back into "Love or Hate?" and choose albums I perhaps feel I didn't give a fair chance to, I might not.

My own familiarity with each artist will be graded on a ranking scale as below:

Noob: Have never heard anything by this artiste before.
Novice: 1 album only heard from the discography. Not very familiar with the artiste.
Apprentice: 2 or 3 albums heard from the artiste. Reasonably familiar but need to hear more.
Adept: More than four, or more than half of the discography, whichever is greater. Quite familiar at this point.
Master Adept: Have heard all their albums and know the artiste really well
High Priest: Have heard all their albums and know the artiste inside out.
