Dude, I just wanna make Frownland listen to the Insane Clown Posse. Don't get in my way.

I'm not. Remember, I said it was likely you would all just do what you wanted, so....

All right, let me just get comfy in my favourite chair and we'll get this under way.

Title: No Pads, No Helmets ... Just Balls
Artiste: A Simple Plan
Genre: Pop Punk
Evil Bastard: Exo

Okay, good one. Though pop punk? We all know I hate punk, but will this not be a bit light for old Trollheart? Let's see. I actually for some reason thought the opener would be a cover of the old hit from the musical of Oliver! It isn't. Kind of poppy boyband-ish, but Exo, if you thought this was going to bother me, you surely forget I spent a long time in Boybandland for my journal. Or maybe you didn't read that. Probably not. Anyway, I've withstood the assault of such groups as New Edition, NKOTB, Westlife and Nsync, so this is nothing to me. Nothing, do you hear me? AH-HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!

(It's actually quite a catchy opener. Unless this gets much MUCH worse, Exo you're going home with nothing my friend.) There's not even autotune on this. I could stand this for hours. I wouldn't want to, but I could. Like I say, it's fairly catchy. Ah, the lyrics are pretty crap: “Yesterday was the worst day ever/ And tomorrow won't be any better.” Hmm. Guitars are pretty good. Hard to prove I'm listening though, as so far the three tracks I've heard are pretty interchangeable. Teenage angst huh? Oh this one is slower, maybe it's a ballad? Jangly guitar. Nah, it kicked up into a copy of the last three. “I'm just a kid”? Indeed. It's actually quite funny how that “emotional” guitar keeps coming in, then they just kick it out of the way with the chorus.

Ah, **** it, I don't care: “Meet you there” is really catchy and I like it. Six tracks in folks! I love hoe in “Addicted” he sings “I'm a dick --- I'm addicted to you!”

Kind of like this too. It's fun. Reminds me of The Proclaimers. Without the thick Scottish accent of course. “When ye goahhhhh weel ye sen' back, a let-tur from Amery-ca!”

Mind ya, considering the amount of times they sing it, they should maybe have titled the song “Heartbreaker”. Thought I was listening to ABBA for a moment there as “My alien” began. Oh, the comments on YouTube (the only place I could find this) are hilarious! “I remember my lil sister bying* this album for me when I turned 13... Damn that was days ago. I'm 25 now with my first kid”. Oh god help me! Days ago?? This song is ****ing hilarious! “She's not your typical girlfriend, she's my alien!”

Wouldn't be a good idea to piss her off, would it? “God must hate me” is a song you can't hate. So God made you crash your dad's car, did He? ****ing kids!

That's almost the guitar solo from “Sweet child o' mine” opening “I won't be there” --- well, not really but it's close. Sort of. “One day” sees them trying a sort of blues/reggae hybrid, though again not really. I have to say I'm quite enjoying this, even ironically. “Perfect” is a decent closer. Bit too long but not bad. You're out of luck Exo, I made it easily to the end.

You get ZERO, my man.

Can I assume any recs here not directed are at me? I know ICP is at Frown, are the rest to be mine?

As for me, the genres I hate most are alternative/indie rock, heavy/power metal and a lot of singer-songwriter stuff.

My first rec, already tried on and hilariously reviewed by Batlord, is Jaap Blonk & Koichi Makigami & Paul Dutton & Phil Minton & David Moss ‎– Five Men Singing.
Who here hates weird vocals?

When you say you're in, are you signing up?

No, you're okay. You can rec for me, just not another until this is done.

There are more than enough ICP albums to go around.

But... Anarchy.

Edit: seriously, someone give me a record to hate.

I would, but I've already done my rec. BTW, were you the one whose album I did in my Avant Garde thread? It's hard to remember who's who after a certain amount of time when people constantly change their avatars. I ask because it would give me an idea of what you listen to.

Two quick announcements:

Frownland, your album from Batty (ICP) was sent on the 12th. This is the 14th. You need to make a start on that or tomorrow will be your first Yellow Alert, and you then risk losing half your score to him. You don't want to do that, do you? Imagine the taunting from him!

Also, Deadchannel: your battle is in limbo at the moment. You can't, as I've already said, just claim you listened to the albums without backup evidence. Look at how Oriphiel and I have approached this. You don't have to be that detailed, but you need to reference some of the tracks to prove you made it through. You have one week from the date of your battle to do this, otherwise your battle will be considered lost, and Batty will get a score of 100.
