Track 1 (Hate) Interesting but a little confused. Not as bad as I thought but very short so hard to say
Track 2 (Hate) Yeah, not mad about this. Very jazzy.
Track 3 (Hate) Don't like this either. Mad horns are not my style, as I've mentioned before
Track 4 (Hate) Forty seconds? Seriously? Packs a lot into it but I don't really like it.
Track 5 (Hate) Oh great! Fast rapping. Just what I want to hear.
Track 6 (Hate) Yeah, this just drives me mad.
Track 7 (Love) This one isn't bad; has a kind of post-rock/prog thing going
Track 8 (Hate) Sort of the same as track 4. Too much in too short a space
Track 9 (Love) This is splendid; slow sensuous soul with a touch of gospel
Track 10 (Love) This is just gorgeous; slow, dreamy, almost ethereal. Reminds me of a slower version of “The Whale” by ELO. Shut up.
Track 11 (Love) This is really nice too.
Track 12 (Love) This is interesting. I like it.
Track 13 (Love) This is nice too
Track 14 (Hate) Mad horns again, though the tune is ok. Horns ruin it for me though. Pity: we were getting into a nice groove there.
Track 15 (Love) Ah we're back on track. Lovely little piece.
Track 16 (Love) Yeah this is pretty sweet too.
Track 17 (Love) yeah, very ethereal, very soft and gentle, like this a lot.
Track 18 (Love) Kind of a continuation of the last track but with a bit more punch
Track 19 (Love) This is really good too.

End result: Started off badly --- really badly --- and I expected to hate this. But although I don't love it I certainly see a lot of good in it. More than just a hip-hop album certainly, if it can even be called that.

So, Love or Hate? I'd have to say Love, surprising myself

Chances of a full review: 5/10
Glad you sort of liked it. It's interesting that the first run of tracks is one of the highlights of the album for me. Weird how different people's tastes are, isn't it?

Also straight in with a recommendation if you haven't heard it: Low by David Bowie.

^Good pick, I was considering giving him that or Faust IV next. I guess I know which one it'll be (I'll wait a while though and let a few more come in).

Title: Bwyd time
Artiste: Gorky's Zygotic Mynci
Genre: Alt-rock?

Track 1 (Hate) Short but silly. Don't like it
Track 2 (Love) More psychedlic and a little more laidback. Not bad.
Track 3 (Love) Touch of “Suffragette City” about the guitar here
Track 4 (Love) Love this one; nice instrumental
Track 5 (Love) This is just lovely
Track 6 (Love) And this is positively pastoral, like the best of the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel mixed together with a touch of the more gentle side of Jethro Tull
Track 7 (Love) Now an acoustic folky song. I'm liking this more and more as I go along. Ooh, nice organ there!
Track 8 (Love) Just beautiful. Another instrumental.
Track 9 (Love) The spoken vocal with the choir behind it and the phasey keyboard, superb. Then the guitar just makes it.
Track 10 (Love) Another spoken vocal. These really work well. Mad guitar is great, then it changes to I think sitar and acoustic? Beautiful. Mind you, there's some very weird stuff near the end, but not enough to cause me to change my mind on this one.
Track 11 (Hate) Bit odd, not crazy about it really
Track 12 (Hate) And I definitely don't like this one. Much.
Track 13 (Hate) OK, this is ten minutes long so I hope it's an improvement on the last two tracks. Hmm. Seems in fact to end at the six-minute mark with four following minutes of complete silence. Wasn't mad about it at all.

End result: Better than expected; in places really, really good but tailed off really badly, to my surprise and disappointment, near the end.

So, Love or Hate? Still gets a Love

Chances of a full review: Given that there's so much Welsh in it, I'd have to bet low and say 2/10

Note: tomorrow is shopping day so don't expect anything like three new reviews. I'll be lucky to get one! Normal service should resume on Friday.
