Riiiight, suuuuuuureee...

That's right, you got me. What can I say? When I said I loved the Elizabeth Cotten album, I was lying. I always base my appreciation, or not, of an album on the personality of the poster and my relationship with them. I'm a very bad person.

Of course, you could also say that you tend to ignore when I like your albums. Like Frownland, never a word if I praise your selections, sulking, moaning and accusations if I don't. Talk about classic passive-aggressiveness. You can't even conceive of the fact that I might just hate or not be interested in an album regardless of who chooses it, you'd rather make everything personal.

But that's fine. Like they say, whatever gets you through the day.

Look on the bright side, Nea. This has to be a record for how long a thread has stayed active in the Album Club.

Yma Sumac- Mambo (1954)

Best Tracks: Bo Mambo, Five Bottles Mambo, Carnavalito Boliviano

Weakest Tracks: Chicken Talk, Goomba Moomba

Yeah, I’m a little late but who knew this thread would be active for this long? Anyway, I was surprised to like this album. It does seem a little awkward at times; Yma Sumac sounds like an opera singer against a Billy May arrangement. It’s actually his arrangements that make this album for me. I guess, like Troll, it’s not an album I would automatically pick up, but it sounds rather nice, and I do like some of May’s arrangements with Frank Sinatra. So, with that…

7/10 (The Word has spoken )

My day just got this much better. (But don't touch me in my special place. Nothing gives you that right...)

I couldn't tell if were you sincere or not. I thought it was all window dressing for you to drive this point home:
Good now we are making progress, we not only have Rory Gallagher in common, now we have Elizabeth Cotten. I won't mention that we have Genesis in common cause even though you tout yourself as the biggest Genesis fan on the forum, you also take great pleasure shitting on them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good I am glad you said that. Cause now you have to re-evaluate your position that any disgust of Tom Waits is really a personal attack against you.

There is no bright side. While it only lasted a few seconds the conversation I had with Chiomara in plug.dj was infinitely better than this hot mess. All this conversation nothing to do with Yma Sumac and her talent for singing. This is four pages trying to iron out all these interpersonal conflicts. I should buy a pipe and a couch and play psychologist whenever my albums are up for review in The Album Club 2017.

You thought wrong.
Genuine question: should the bolded read "now"? Otherwise I don't see how that sentence makes sense?
Nah, just Abacab. And my ****ting on that is entirely justified, from my standpoint.
Never did. Not sure where you got that. Of course, calling an artist I like talentless or vowing you'd rather listen to ten hours of some music you hate does seem more like a personal attack than a proper music opinion. But hell, you hate Waits all you want. I'm sure he's about as worried over that as I am.
Hey man, it was you who started it. All I said was the album wasn't for me. If you look, I even say I'm not going to rate it, as I'd give it a low one and that doesn't seem fair, since it's surely not a bad album, just one I don't like. You got all personal about it. Sorry you can't take criticism of your albums without bringing personality into it. If it makes you feel any better, you can **** all over my next pick, due up next.

To be fair, Abacab may in fact be the best Genesis album ever.
