OK then, strap yourselves in and let's go!
(Note: I may not actually "love" anything on an album, but for the purposes of this thread, "love" refers to anything I like about it, or at least don't hate)

Title: Transilvanian Hunger
Artiste: Darkthrone
Genre: Black Metal
Pithy comment: Why do they spell Transylvania the way they do?

Love:
1. The guitar work. Bloody melodic for a Black Metal band and if it wasn't for the vocals I could listen to this a lot more easily. I actually think this is really great.
2. Head did not melt, as I had expected
Hate:
1. Anyone? The vocals are as usual ridiculously hard to make out and not at all easy on the ear, but then, this is Black Metal!

2. Very samey, repetitive, couldn't really tell one track from another.
3. Everything superfast (but again, see comment on voice)

End result: Not bad but not really something I'd be eager to return to, not because it's too loud or scared me or repulsed me, but because it just sounds all the same to me.

So, Love or Hate? Without the vocals quite possibly Love, but I guess I'll have to go with Hate.

Chances of a full review: 1/10

Because that's actually how the Romanians spell it.

I remember when Trollheart was cool and actually reviewed the torture devices we sent his way.
