Exo's Half-Assed Album Review Thread

**Exo** · 07-05-2016, 12:14 PM

Greetings from your neighborhood Exo!

Remember last fall when we had all those album review threads? Well, I'm bored as f*ck so I decided I was going to try my hand at the same format. Hell, with Trollheart MIA, I feel like somebody has to pick up some of the slack. I'm willing to step in. However, there are going to be some differences from previous threads like this. Here's how it'll work.

You recommend me albums.
I write about them the only way I know how...half assed. I've never been very good at expressing myself when talking about music so my review will be blunt, short, and probably uneducated. It'll be easier for me to actually review most submissions and easier for readers to skim through them.
I'm only reviewing albums I haven't heard before or haven't heard in a long time. If you submit one of my favorite albums or just an album I have a history with, I'll ask for another.
I don't care what genre it is. Submit anything.
There will be a master list in this post just like it's usually done.
If I can't stream it on Spotify, Bandcamp, or Youtube, you'll have to try another one.

This summer is going to be very boring for me since I'm not getting a lot of hours at Barnes and Noble and because I'm job searching so this should get updated pretty frequently.

Submit away...
