Third. You really don't need to care past the first, and even then it's a crap shoot.

Is there any deathcore I might actually give a crap about, or should I just consider it a lost cause for me? I'm not really bothered, just wondering.

Should I check that out or is there something better out there for me? I always felt like deathcore had a lot of squandered potential.

Album title: Burials in Several Earths Artist: BBC Radiophonic Workshop Genre: Electronic/Ambient Nationality: English Release date: May 19 Position in Discography: Twenty-fourth Estimated Rating: Have I heard of this artist? n/a Have I heard anything by this artist? n/a Average RYM Score: 3.27 When I read the artist here I assumed it was just an artsy-fartsy name for some ambient producer or band, but no: this is THE BBC workshop that brought you such amazing sound effects as those you hear on Doctor Who, Blake's Seven, The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Quatermass and other well-loved and some obscure programmes (mostly sci-fi) transmitted on the BBC – some on the radio - since about the 1950s. I'm not quite sure what the point is in releasing this though, but it certainly gives an insight into the massive amount of work that went into making all those spooky, eerie and occasionally disturbing sound effects that populated the shows I used to watch as a kid. Oh, I see the workshop was forced to close in 1998 and this is one of many efforts to catalogue and release music and sounds created by them in their heyday. So, a kind of retrospective, of sorts. Well this is certainly interesting. It's hard, almost impossible to review though. There are some nice piano runs, synthy soundscapes, but mostly weird sound effects that those of us who grew up in the seventies on this side of the water will remember fondly. I imagine OH and Frownland will find a lot to like here, but this could likely be listened to and enjoyed by just about anyone. It's hardly an essential album, but definitely worth a listen. Check out more from this artist? n/a Check out more from this genre or subgenre? n/a Actual Rating:

Oh **** I didn't even know about that. Are you familiar with the workshop and Delia Derbyshire and all that? They played such a huge role in advancing electronic music.

Album title: Back to Us Artist: Rascal Flatts Genre: Country Nationality: American Release date: May 19 Position in Discography: Tenth Estimated Rating: Have I heard of this artist? No Average RYM Score: 2.40 Oh dear; I have a sinking feeling this may be Bro Country. Quite poppy to start with anyway, and three lads singing country? Hmm. Seems like they hardly wrote any of this either. Another warning sign, perhaps? “I Know You Won't” is (the first of many I feel) a nice ballad, but again it's not what you'd call country, not with all that orchestration and a very poppy/boyband feel to it. Yeah, **** it: this is bro country. Bro. Dude. Whatever. Lord help me. After the sublime excellence of the last album I'm dragged forcibly back to reality into the world of mediocrity and the lowest common denominator. Surely, with so many guns in the Bible Belt, someone could shoot these guys? You'd be performing a public service. And now I'll perform one of my own. Check out more from this artist? Not a ****ing chance Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Not a ****ing chance
