Sort of seems to me like we didn't even listen to the same album. I'm not cut up about it and he can dump my other recs if that's what he wants to do, but I'm curious about what was actually wrong with it.

Welcome to rec'ing to TH. It helps if you're just trolling him.

You're the one who's getting upset. First you push me about doing the non-list reviews - which I said I was getting to - then you whine when I don't like your album. Seriously, Ped: grow up, huh? I hated plenty of others here and you don't hear anyone complaining about that. Also, this is NOT a rec thread by any means.

As for the short shrift it was given, look at any of the reviews I've written, particularly the bad ones. I don't give them much time. From the OP:

However, as I'm sure you expect and understand, these albums won't be reviewed. At best I'll scribble a few lines about each, unless something really impresses me. I've nothing to prove with regard to writing reviews - those who have read my various journals, and some threads, know how good, or bad, I am at that, so this is more an attempt just to listen to the albums and quickly say what I think of each.

Oh, **** off Trollheart. You are so needlessly defensive that asking you a question is perceived as threatening. You don't have to take my recommendations, but you offered to, so quit acting like it's some kind of favour to me that you've listened to an album you missed.

You also don't have to like my suggestions, but this is a review thread, so **** me for expecting you to do the bare minimum and give me two sentences about what you disliked so I can offer you better recs in future months or different threads.

This is a forum, not a soap box. You might have started the thread, but you don't own it, and it's open to commentary and suggestions. If you don't like that, go start a blog.

Just out of curiosity, how many albums do you listen to a day, Trollheart? I usually see several reviews on any given day. That can't be easy.

Bolded: no it isn't. I explained that at the start. I am NOT reviewing these albums, just listening to them and writing a few lines about what I think of each. Often, that's really very little. Your album actually got more of a "review" than Gigantic Debaser's, as it happens. I really didn't like your album. At all. I hated the guitars, loathed the vocals and, other than "Glass Teeth", as I mentioned, every song sounded quite similar to me. There was nothing there I could write about, so I didn't.

That's how I do it in this thread. Look at any review. If I like something it may get a longer review, if not then it'll be a line or two. Nobody's singling out your album, as you seem to think, for a really short, bad review. I've written shorter.

Anyway, I'm not here to fight with anyone, so I don't mind keeping your other two suggestions, and who knows? Maybe they'll be great. But if something isn't worth my time here I don't waste that time writing about it. Sorry if you didn't understand the way I operate here in this thread, but now you know. Apologies if you were offended; not intended. But this thread has to run in a certain way or I'll still be here when I'm old(er) and gray(er).

****! I misread this, sorry. I see now. I thought you were calling me proud (so proud Troll hates) but you were saying I am so proud Troll hates something I recommended. Oh my apologies: I ****ed that one up completely, didn't I? Total misunderstanding. Sorry for the vitriolic response, Ped. I'm totally in the wrong there. Sincere apologies. Wow! That was pretty ****ing stupid of me, huh?
