He forgot to put the people's names who recommended the albums in the index.

Aw Trollheart hates al my favourite music xD

Big shout out and thanks to Violet, who last night as I slept and grumbled about people pushing me to the edge where I would end up buying a shotgun and ... um, forget I said that ... anyway, he very kindly indexed the entire thing for me. So it's now on the OP and I will update it as I go through the rest of the albums. But you have him to thank for the clickable index.

Thanks Violet! Really big help!

Title: The unwanted sounds of Satisfact
Artiste: Satisfact
Genre: Post punk

Love
Singer sounds a little like Ric Ocasek
Decent beat and melody
Really like “Standard error”
Nice kind of new-wave feel to this too; like the keyboards and generally it's quite upbeat
Good energy to this album, without being aggressive or too loud

Hate
Pretty much nothing really.

End result: Yeah, really liked this. Glad bob was able to supply me with a copy.

So, Love or Hate? This has to be Love

Chances of a full review? 4/10

i'm sincerely glad you enjoyed man

i really think they are a lost relic in late 90s indie rock....and i have to say for the most part everyone i've introduced them to have really enjoyed them

can i suggest.....putting a couple of different albums between my DVOA and Batlord's Merzbow picks....my selection is going to invoke internal nightmares and suppressed insecurities and his is a nightmare.....i honestly think you should give yourself a little break of happiness between them

Title: Ocean machine
Artiste: Devin Townsend
Genre: Rock

Love
“Seventh wave”, first track and I'm already in love with this ****ing album!
Yeah, every track is gold. I think I'll end up being a fan of everything this man does.

Hate
Nothing. At all. Okay, “The death of music” is really weird, but I sure don't hate it.

End result: Kind of expected after my reaction to Epicloud but yeah, I Love this bigtime.

So, Love or Hate? Duh! Love obviously.

Chances of a full review: 9/10

Ya, it's got such and epic vibe to it and the production is as good as it gets in that genre. The man is a genius.

I've only heard two of Dev's albums, and this one has some great reviews, saying it's his best. Gonna give it a thorough spin or two and see what all the fuss is about. I'm actually on the first track right now, and yup. Lovely textures. I'm gonna enjoy this.

Trollheart · 05-12-2015, 11:36 AM

I need help here. (Well, obviously.)

No seriously. I know someone suggested The idler wheel but though I've been through the entire thread three times I can't find the post to determine who it was that suggested it. Little help? I assume I'm just missing it, like a blind spot, every time, but I swear I can't see the post...
