You're also insane. Coincidence?

Wait, did you listen to The Smile Sessions or Brian Wilson Presents Smile? If you hate one you'll hate the other, but they're (slightly) different things.

Anyway, I wonder if you'd like The Idler Wheel by Fiona Apple. It's a great album, she can sing, not too experimental, and the percussion reminded me a little of Rain Dogs the first time I heard it. Will you add that to the list?

If he doesn't, I honestly don't see a worse missed opportunity

Well it's not just genres. Waits uses table legs and two-by-fours to make percussion, creates his own instruments, brought in turntables for the first time on Bone Machine, has some totally crazy stuff on The Black Rider, uses a calliope, glass harmonica... however

that's probably a fair statement. I don't like experimental music and so yeah I have nothing to compare it to, but even some of the singing at times was Waitsian.

Oh you're really pushing it now aren't you?

I looked for one, found the other but I checked Pet_sounds' tracklisting which he sent me via a wiki page and it was virtually the same, except this one hadn't the four instrumentals at the end. I didn't think I was missing anything by not listening to them.

I think I've heard it, but tbh I can't remember so I'll put it on the list.

Title: Ok nefna tysvar ty
Artiste: Falkenbach
Genre: Viking Metal

Love
The cinematic opening to the first track, but this is Batty, so waiting for it to kick into a br00tal guitar riff and for someone to start growling or screaming or ... huh? Flutes? A proper voice? What is this? Is he slipping? This is great!
Reading about it I see it's Viking Metal (cool) and that the title means “Call Tyr twice” which is even cooler.
Hey, it's all one guy! That always gets props in my book! Big thumbs up!
Second track is just as good if not better, and it's in English.
Ah, just everything! This is ****ing great!

Hate
Nothing. There is nothing I hate or even dislike about this album.

End result: A massive surprise and a very pleasant one. Thanks Batty! I owes ya!

So, Love or Hate? A very solid Love, without question. Feel the love!

Chances of a full review: 10/10

Ah, the fascinating ways some individuals find to mind-**** themselves. It's like winning a soap box derby when you're opponent actually drives in the GT Sprint Cup.
