It'll be bad, but it'll still be interesting to read the review.

What's my prize for being #100???

OK, well thanks for that. At least I now have a better idea of where you're coming from. You do of course know that that singer from Script is gone now and they have a new one? I wouldn't dream of trying to make you like something you don't, but I'll just leave this here in case you decide you want to give the "new" Marillion another chance.

As for Masada, no it wasn't the length (though that did figure in it): as I already explained, I'm not big on guitar-only albums and if they're going to be that then they need to have much more variety and a bit of interest, neither of which I got from what I heard. It was like Cage's string thing. I was just bored. But it's not just you; Steve Hackett, whom I really admire, got the same treatment when it was an album of classical guitar music. I just find it boring, there's no other way to say that. Twenty-one tracks was a lot, though. You might (might) fare better with me if you had shorter albums. Cage's was over an hour, and as for your own.... I'm not overly fond of very long albums, unless they contain music I already like.

Cash. Where will I send it?

Translation: I ****ing hate your music and it's too god damn long. Suck a dick.

Come in plug you doofus.

I think I spot a closet WISSK fan.

When I click your link I feel like you're pissing in my mouth not your own..

So you're saying my music is as good as kinky sex? I wouldn't disagree with that.

Title: Carrie and Lowell
Artiste: Sufjan Stevens
Genre: Folk/Indie
Familiarity: I've heard one of his albums: Illinois I think. Or Michigan. Some state anyway. Don't remember being too impressed with it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie...#Track_listing

Track 1(Love) Nice soft folky feel to this, maybe mandolin in there. Nice gentle voice with some good vocal harmonies. Ooh! Nice piano!
Track 2(Love) Yes this is very nice too. Very personal songs. Very simple. Beautiful bit of cello at the end. I think.
Track 3(Love) This is really nice too. Hard to say anything about this so far, other than it's nice. Which is probably enough.
Track 4(Love) This has a very haunting quality to it, especially at the end.
Track 5(Love) Nice sort of rippling guitar in this. This guy has not raised his voice once so far, and we're halfway through the album.
Track 6(Love) Sort of a jaunty, sad little song concerning the realisation of mortality. The bit about what to do with the body was pretty hard to hear. Very brave.
Track 7(Love) Is there harp in this? No? Just me then.
Track 8(Love) Another really nice track with rippling guitar again
Track 9(Love) Just another really nice one
Track 10(Love) Like the bitterness aimed at God and/or religion here
Track 11(Love) Beautiful piano, gentle and moving closer.

End result: An album of infinite sadness, tenderness, courage and power. Almost like someone ripping open their chest and showing you their still beating heart. Unnerving, scary, triumphant, heart-rending, joyous and brave as all hell. Bravo. One of the most personal records I've heard since Rod Stewart's Time. Guess I may need to give Sufjan Stevens another shot.

So, Love or Hate? It would have to be a Love, wouldn't it?

Oh wow. I didn't realise you knew the guy! Just as well I Loved it, huh?
:shycouch:
Done now
Also done
Like I said, done
I hope this isn't like Hospice: I love that album but I'm not sure I could go through that sort of emotional pain again...
