And those damn kids today. Don't even talk to each other. Just keep clickety-clacking on "Myface" or whatever damned thing.

Don't you talk about how you don't give a damn about song lyrics on a regular basis?

If you haven't already listened to this then you're an *******, but just in case...

Beautiful record that I think I recommended in the classic albums thread but never got reviewed.

Man... 0/10 on Aesop Waits is brutal. Probably should stay out of this thread.

That would be me. Though your post is obviously an over simplification.

It did. Sorry. I really wasn't interested as the lyrics were too fast and involved for me, and I was really hoping for more Waits. With added Waits.

Duh! Of course I have dude! It's Dio's last album! And I wrote a whole special on him a few years back, remember? That was included. I'll link you if you want but it was long, eight parts I think.

Don't misunderstand: that's not a rating of the album. I'm not saying it gets zero out of ten. It's a rating of the likelihood that I would go deeper into a review on it, in my journal. Most albums I don't like will get this rating. It just means I have no intention of fully reviewing it.

Trollheart · 05-29-2015, 10:02 AM

As I didn't go with the "Love, Hate or Meh" thing, I've had to choose between the two and as each are pretty rigid concepts, I've found myself "Loving" albums I don't really love, but don't Hate.

To address this, I'm introducing the further concept of "True Love". Any album that attains this status is one I really do love, not just like. So in future, if I like or really like an album it will get a "Love" status, but if I really think it's brilliant and really enjoy it it will be shown as "True Love".

(Note: this will only apply to the overall rating in "So, Love or Hate?" (which won't change to encompass the new rating), not to each individual track, which will still be rated as one or the other).
