Time to trim some deadwood.

I'm very much behind, but with Karen being sick, then the Bowie classics and Metal Classics, and add in now the World Cup, time has been at a premium. I will catch up though. I'm, what, three albums behind at the moment?

You're legally excused. It's the other guys who need to bow down in shame and self-flagellate until they bleed.

I don't remember having that debate, but it sounds just racist enough to have actually happened.

Are you talking about your music collection?

Giving this a spin now. Like the Dir En Grey albums I've heard so far, there's some really good stuff and some totally meh stuff, a combination which makes it hard to be properly interested in the album. I found it kind of playing in the background as I did other things, with the odd track making me pay attention, but generally it didn't make that much of an impression.

However I expect it needs more listens and as I wasn't really focussed on it the first time I'll give it a few more tries, see if I can change that Meh to a Like, though I imagine that's as far as it will go. Best I can aim for.

When you've found out if it's "meh" or "like", I'd love to know what track(s) you liked the best.

Trollheart · 06-21-2018, 03:14 PM

Oh, you'll know.

I tried to make conservation from the beginning, and was slowly building up to album review. I even checked out the band that the guitar was in, 9Goats Black Out. But when I read the psychotic post I was like nevermind. That aint my kinda humor. I found it kinda disturbing.
