I don't think TH appreciates Bumble Bee Man on the level he should. Granted, Bumble Bee Man was never a good character, but I still question TH's motives.

There speaks a man who has had too much beer. Go sleep it off, Batty.

Just before I close this quarter, it's probably a good idea to look at the stats for the first three months.

Out of a total of 384 albums reviewed:

Albums I considered excellent: 122
Albums I considered good: 112
Albums I considered meh: 70
Albums I considered bad: 34
Albums I considered terrible: 20

Albums I did not complete

Ones on which I used the "Oh Hell No!" clause: 0
Ones on which I used the "Three Strikes" clause: 4
Ones on which I used the "Bailout" clause: 39

I'm working on my overall top and bottom twenty for the first quarter, will be back with that later. Reviews will then resume from January 1, as we head into April 2017.

I had Conor Oberst at number two. So far I like Grandaddy's Last Place. I have to listen to a few more 2017 albums if I want to do a tentative top five in Blank's thread. Still reviewing for my own ambitious project (only in 1970 as I write this). Anyway for me it's Grandaddy and Oberst.

Definitely came close. It was a tight thing, but I just love Bowness's voice. When he gets together with Steven Wilson it's just a match made in Heaven, but even without the PT man he's still special. And Danielsen's album just impressed me so much; I think it was my first pick for AOTY. But yeah, could have been interchangeable to a great extent.
