Quiet you. Don't you have an election to rig? Quote:
In fairness though, yeah, some albums with longer songs don't run as long as you might think. Let me look at Husker Du: yeah, see, over an hour. Elliott Smith as you say 52 mins so not as bad but for my own sanity I'm going to place the cutoff point at 50 mins. I think that's a reasonable time I can work with right now. Note that this is only until after October; I'll be a lot freer then but at the moment I've just too much to do. So: no albums, double or single, that have over twelve tracks and/or run over 50 mins, just for now. The list will be readjusted later when I get time. For now though, here is a track review...

Are you trying to come up with reasons not to listen to Smith?

Troll I promise that Smith is a really great artist, and his music seems like something that would most likely be up your alley. |

I believe the troll demographic would really respond to that.

Title: Flight of the killer plankton Artiste: Plankton Genre: Rock Taken from: The Dream Familiarity: I know most of Plankton's stuff, and love it Suggested by: Plankton Expectations: Nothing less than perfect will do. I do not expect to be disappointed. Nice sort of ambient feel, kind of almost like someone blowing on a glass, you know that kind of thing? Tappy little percussion with sort of oriental tones (bells?) and now here comes the guitar we all know and love. Punching out like a killer octopus fighting for its survival against a giant hammerhead (note: contact SyFy Channel with idea for monster movie), and now falling to some choral vocal synth with squidgy kind of effects before the guitar comes back in, some fine shredding. Conclusion: Not as heavy as I like Plankton's music to be; sort of electronic in places, but still a cut above the rest always. So, Love or Hate? You need to ask? This is a Love all day long. Possibility of looking into the album: 100%

Sweet. Plank's the real deal.

Single tracks list has now been fully updated. Still working on the albums one. Grindy, sorry but I don't know what you go by musically so I've just left it as your username. If you use another name let me know and I'll change it accordingly.

Don't think I'm not going to listen to it. I will, and Husker Du too. But right now I am too busy for albums with 16 tracks, never mind how long they are. I'll get to it, but not till I can put aside the time.
