Obviously, I'm not talking about listening to them, which I do via Spotify or YouTube. I'm talking about getting enough pertinent information on the album to be able to write a little about it. If the album isn't on Wiki it's not included. You know that. If there's not enough information on one I'll go to Discogs, and that's generally it, other than a Google search. But a good ninety percent or so of the albums on the Wiki list have enough information on the Wiki page to allow me to write about them. That list you posted has information on NONE of the albums, that I could see. Just name and artist and release date. That's it. I'd have to look up every single one independently of the list. Anyway, it's a moot point, but just to clear that one up, that's what I mean.

When you click on it it takes you to a page with genre details and reviews if there are any. Are you saying that half of your work here is looking at a wiki page? Why not just repost wiki deets? Are you incapable of understanding what an album is just by listening to it?

Just say no dude, I don't need your fake excuses.

No it doesn't. I clicked several; it brings you nowhere. Anyway, as I said, I can of course review an album by just listening to it, but I like to have some pertinent details to write up - this is the last album with X, the band were inspired by Z, this album was recorded in space, and so on. I like to read about the album so that I have something more to say about it than what I hear in the music.

Also, stick it: I don't need to excuse myself to you or anyone else. Thanks for your input.

Now you're just making **** up. If you click on the album it tells you the genres and shows reviews if there are any.

Just repost the wiki details if you can't formulate your own thoughts on a record then.

He said after making several paragraphs full of weak excuses to justify his stubbornness.

Album title: We the People
Artist: Adrenaline Mob
Genre: Heavy Metal/Alt-Metal/Hard Rock
Nationality: American
Release date: June 2
Position in Discography: Third
Estimated Rating:

Have I heard of this artist? No
Average RYM Score: 2.85
Hmm. Sounds a little metal-by-numbers when it starts, but I'm only two tracks in so I'll give it a chance. Nothing really standing out just yet though. Singer does remind me of Ronnie James Dio at times, and “The Killer's Inside” is catchy indeed, has a nice hook in the chorus; perhaps a little on the light side considering the subject matter but otherwise pretty damn good. Maybe this album is about to take an upswing. Yes, it's definitely getting better now. “Bleeding Hands” is a good, kind of country-tinged song while “Chasing Dragons” has a sort of AOR feel to it – think Bon Jovi, Bonfire, Axxis, that kind of thing – with maybe elements of Priest in there too. I'm not sure whether a different vocalist has taken over since the third track (but I doubt it, as only one is mentioned) or if he has just changed his style, but if it's the same guy then he's less guttural now, and more easily understood when he sings.

“Raise 'em Up” is another good catchy and anthemic rocker, if a little simplistic and I really like “Blind Leading the Blind”, which starts off acoustically and fools you into thinking it's going to be one of those cowboy ballad songs, then kicks right up and shows its teeth. “Lords of Thunder” has a mixture of power, speed and even progressive metal in it, and they end with a cover of Billy Idol's “Rebel Yell”, though why they bothered I can't say, as it's almost exactly like the original. Nevertheless, the album turned out to be a definite improvement from the two opening tracks.
Check out more from this artist? Yeah
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes

I clicked on several: all they brought me to was a picture of the album and a release date. Reviews: none. Great help. Maybe they weren't representative of the list, but that's what I got and I'll be damned if I'm going through the whole list to see.

Worse than pathetic, even for you. I obviously use Wiki for research, then post my own thoughts.

However, it is amusing that after all this time you still think your opinion matters to me. It's nothing to me; you're nothing to me. It's kind of cute and also sad that you can't get that through your head. Bother someone else. I'm busy.

Sounds bland and meh. Modern production really isn't old school heavy metal's best friend. If you want this a million times better then check this. It's amazing beyond imagining.

This is what I get when I click on an album using that site. Genres, release date, cover, general rating, label, discography, and reviews if there are any.

Spoiler for .:


Sorry to waste so much of your precious ****ing time by offering a simple suggestion.

I'm just going off of you saying "double the work." If having to google an album after seeing it on the list is doubling your work, you're barely even doing any work at all, especially if you're factoring in listening time. Just say no in the future man, you really don't need to waste your time making transparent justifications. I can see right through you.

You care enough to respond to it. If you didn't care, you'd just roll your eyes and move on. I don't even care if you use the list or not man, I just think it's annoying that you feel the need to go on longwinded justifications that amount to "I'm good."

EDIT: Missed this

Huh? Put down the guinness TH.
