Fear Factor is my expectation of how I'll react to the album, good bad or meh, whereas Expectation Index shows how right, or wrong I was, after the fact. The lower the EI, the more on the money I was. So if for instance I think I'll hate an album (let's say it's a freeform jazz punk or maybe an industrial screech noise avant-garde grindcore metal one) and it turns out I don't, the Expectation Index would be high, and red (8-10). If I did hate it, then it'll be a green 0. If I hated it less than expected, maybe 2-4 and so on.

Tealdear: FF is how I think I'll react to the album based on my own tastes and experiences, EI is how I actually did react to it after having heard it. One is an estimate, the other a result.

Well, it started off so promising, but since then it's been a mediocre, meh March. Let's hope this will turn the tide. Normally I'd be hitting HIGH or even CRITICAL on any album with punk in the genre tag, but on the basis of how much I enjoyed the Dropkick Murphys, I'm hoping this may continue that trend. We'll see. Can't be worse than what I've listened to in the last few days, anyway.

Album title: Two Devils Will Talk
Artist: The Real McKenzies
Genre: Celtic Punk
Nationality: Canadian
Release date: March 3
Position in Discography: Ninth
Fear Factor: Moderate
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No
Average RYM Score: 3.23
Apparently, these guys are one of the founders of Celtic Punk, so I guess I'll get to hear whether the Dropkicks are a proper example of the genre or not. Well it's kind of what I have now come to expect after listening to 11 Stories of Pain and Glory. Good time, mad, drinking-type songs with a strong Celtic (in this case, Scottish) traditional influence. I'm not sure, but I think those are bagpipes on “Seafarers”, then these guys can really do the acapella singing, as in the next song, “Northwest Passage”. I have a lot of time too for bands who don't take themselves too seriously, and how can you be accused of that when you include a song on your album called “Fuck The Real McKenzies”? Great stuff, and as I said about their contemporaries, they must be a blast live. They've certainly put a stick of dynamite up this month's ass!

Check out more from this artist? Yup
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yeah


Expectation Index: 7

If he's having fun, sure. I just hope he doesn't crap out before he gets to all of my favourites from 2017.

I'm not going to crap out at all. I'm going to finish this; projected end date around September 2018.

It would certainly make your thread an even more incomplete and pointless waste of time.
