I looked for it first on youtube, and mistakenly started listening to Gradually Projection first (I ended up having to download Mass Projection later). Gradually Projection had aspects that I liked--especially Abe's playing from a perspective of technique. I would have given you a 60% on that, probably.

I didn't care for Abe's playing so much on Mass Projection, however. (And I didn't care for Takayanagi's playing on either release.) The compositions didn't appeal to me on either release, again less so on Mass Projection, and the recording quality on Mass Projection was annoying, too. So good job for the purposes of this thread. ;-)
Did you struggle to the end, though?

Are you asking if I listened to the whole thing? I would think that "I pretty much hated it and was just waiting for it to finish almost as soon as it started" pretty clearly implies that, no? Again, I can listen to anything to its finish (I mentioned that in my first post in this thread). The only reason I wouldn't do that is if it's really long--like significantly over an hour or something, and either I'm really hating it or I just don't have the time to listen to the whole thing.

Yes I was asking that. Saying "I couldn't wait for it to end" doesn't necessarily imply that you made it. In fact, if you take it literally, that means you didn't finish it. Obviously, you now say you did but I need to know for the score.

He said 100%. I say that we take his word for it.

For one, I said that I was "just waiting for it to finish." I didn't say that I couldn't wait for it to finish.

Don't get your knickers in a twist. As Frownland would say, it was just a question. You could have hated it and NOT made it though, or you could have hated it and made it through. I just needed clarification for the score as opposed to the Torture Level.

Thanks

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

I was simply explaining it to you and encouraging you to read more closely (especially prior to arguing re interpretation).
