I believe it was actually the Reddit /r/listentothis best of 2015 post.

Is it the time signature switches that make it math rock?

I'd assume so. I really don't give a **** about genres though.

Pretend - Tapestry'd Life

Yeah, I tried but this just isn't for me I guess. First time I listened to it was a bad idea as I was really tired, and fell asleep. Gave it another shot and I can't even get more than halfway through it. I'm just bored out of my mind. The vocals are, to me, dreary and uninteresting, the time changes are annoying and this great drumming some of you are talking about just ruins any chance I had of getting this. Not saying it's a bad album - some of you seem to really like it - but not one I'll be returning to. Two ten-minute tracks on it kind of did me in.

Couldn't even be bothered matrixing the **** out of this ****er. I can give it maybe 4/10. Sorry.

I like the divisiveness.

Put a couple tracks on a playlist and after smoking a bowl put it on shuffle. Let it sit in the backdrop of a conversation with a friend and see if it doesn't sneak up on you. I'm not dissing you but I think it sounds like you may have been trying too hard. Or not. Whatever.

Nah, I don't do drugs, and if you know me you'll know I either like an album (even a little bit) first listen or it won't click with me. This is nothing like what I enjoy, so I would not be putting myself through it again. And yes, I did try hard, because it's an Exo record and I actually had hoped to like it. But I can't lie. I like big butts. But not this album.

Edit: Also, OT but anyway, why don't you have an avatar? I would have assumed you'd pick one that would have Google running screaming to their lawyers.

To be fair, I picked a record from a genre you just have never liked ever.
