Yeah I get that. I think it's better this way tbh

Now I just hope some people are gonna actually post something. I'm gonna do some more, but it's not far from my bedtime.

I will be. I'm at work atm but I'll see if I can whip something up for the time being. Stay tuned.

Spoiler for album cover:

Conduits - Conduits

Pretty funny that this thread was made because I was actually looking for an excuse to talk about this album so here we go. Nea actually sent this my way after I talked about Distant Satellites by Anathema and I gotta say, while I don't really know what I was expecting, this album is quite good. I love the harmonies throughout and the music in its own is very much a distinct taste but not too difficult to get into.

I certainly enjoyed my time with this album considering I'd never heard it before. And don't worry, I don't think the album is necessarily very similar to Anathema. Nea just sent it my way as a result of that. Still worth giving a shot though.

The random aspect will probably get me more interested in reviewing than otherwise. Not making much time to review the albums I already own but haven't listened to in a good stroke. More interested in exploring stuff I haven't heard. We'll see what I can come up with.

First try using https://rateyourmusic.com/misc/random

Astma - Koniec Antropocenu (2016, Poland, [Abstract, Techno, Noise, Experimental])

Apparently this is a limited release of only 50 copies. I don't dislike it, but techno never really holds my interest.

I have to listen to Shadows Fall now

Random RYM album generator selection (went through about ten trying to find one on Spotify):

Body Tools - Locusts & Lions / Brave

Industrial techno that you've heard before but still catches some nice grooves and textures. Both of these tracks are about 3 minutes too long and the ambient moments are very flat. 3/5

Because I don't have RYM, I used a random album generator, and this is what came up first:

James Arthur - Back From The Edge (2016)

I ****ing love this thread right now because I've only just started this album and I'm absolutely loving it. James Arthur is a fantastic vocalist and the music that accompanies him in this album is doubly fantastic. I'll be listening to this album a lot I'm sure. I've been looking for something like this for a while. Something easy to listen to but still very very good. Sweet!

I didn't know it was just for users. That's lame.
