Hey Trollheart, I have another recommendation for you!

Holly Golightly - God Don't Like It

Machine

Hm let's go with something that has hip-hop influence but is mainly synthpop and orchestral pop. Also one of my favorite albums if all time.

Gorrilaz - Plastic Beach

I could actually see TH liking Plastic Beach. That'll be an interesting one

Yeah I thought the hip-hop influence was nicely balenced put so we'll see.

Oh nice suggestion, I love that record. It could really go either way for TH but I'm thinking it'll be somewhat positive.

I've been listening to it constantly lately.
I think it's really accessible, not to mention beautiful.

Title: 2
Artiste: The Black Heart Procession
Genre: Indie

Track 1(Love) This is beautifully melancholy, sad piano, morose vocal, the wind howling at the end and the sound of gates swinging (?) is perfect and complements the feel of the song. Great start.
Track 2(Love) Accordion is great in this, real carnival atmosphere; more upbeat and there's a slight aggression in the vocal that reminds me at times of Cave. Love the Waters-style megaphone things they have going near the end
Track 3(Love) There's that megaphone again. Kind of a funeral dirge/slow New Orleans thign about this. Bit repetitive but I really like it.
Track 4(Love) Really like this one. Very Cavesque again. Love the organ.
Track 5(Love) Is that violin? Probably not. Great song though. Something of INXS in here? What's the thing going “Woooo” in the background of the music? bob?
Track 6(Love) Beautiful electric piano, phased vocal. Is that a saw? Glass harp? **** man, that is gorgeous!
Track 7(Love) More lovely piano, this time acoustic with some sort of warbling effect or something in the background giving the song a kind of ominous, threatening feel. Nice trumpet work too. The song has a very Waits vibe. Well, it does.
Track 8(Love) More uptempo, with a more passionate vocal. Bit of a shock really, considering how low-key and gentle the rest of the album has been up to now, but great anyway.
Track 9(Love) Back to the melancholy laidback piano. Still beautiful. Feel he really channels Waters well here.
Track 10(Love) Oh this is much different! Very throaty, very deep, sense of Gabriel and Collins about it. Also an odd feel of 80s new wave...
Track 11(Love) Kind of a reprise of the opener. Love it. The only thing I will say is that the last three minutes of the track are nothing but ambient noise. Nice, but it means the track was overextended. Still, it's a good closer.

End result: I kind of expected to Love this album, given that a) bob has yet to steer me wrong and b) I had heard one track from this band already and really loved it. So I'm not surprised, but happy that both he and I were right.

So, Love or Hate? This one goes down as the first True Love.

Chances of a full review: 9/10
