He forgot to put the people's names who recommended the albums in the index.

Big shout out and thanks to Violet, who last night as I slept and grumbled about people pushing me to the edge where I would end up buying a shotgun and ... um, forget I said that ... anyway, he very kindly indexed the entire thing for me. So it's now on the OP and I will update it as I go through the rest of the albums. But you have him to thank for the clickable index.

Thanks Violet! Really big help!

Title: The unwanted sounds of Satisfact
Artiste: Satisfact
Genre: Post punk

Love
Singer sounds a little like Ric Ocasek
Decent beat and melody
Really like “Standard error”
Nice kind of new-wave feel to this too; like the keyboards and generally it's quite upbeat
Good energy to this album, without being aggressive or too loud

Hate
Pretty much nothing really.

End result: Yeah, really liked this. Glad bob was able to supply me with a copy.

So, Love or Hate? This has to be Love

Chances of a full review? 4/10

i'm sincerely glad you enjoyed man

i really think they are a lost relic in late 90s indie rock....and i have to say for the most part everyone i've introduced them to have really enjoyed them

can i suggest.....putting a couple of different albums between my DVOA and Batlord's Merzbow picks....my selection is going to invoke internal nightmares and suppressed insecurities and his is a nightmare.....i honestly think you should give yourself a little break of happiness between them

Title: Ocean machine
Artiste: Devin Townsend
Genre: Rock

Love
“Seventh wave”, first track and I'm already in love with this ****ing album!
Yeah, every track is gold. I think I'll end up being a fan of everything this man does.

Hate
Nothing. At all. Okay, “The death of music” is really weird, but I sure don't hate it.

End result: Kind of expected after my reaction to Epicloud but yeah, I Love this bigtime.

So, Love or Hate? Duh! Love obviously.

Chances of a full review: 9/10

Ya, it's got such and epic vibe to it and the production is as good as it gets in that genre. The man is a genius.

I've only heard two of Dev's albums, and this one has some great reviews, saying it's his best. Gonna give it a thorough spin or two and see what all the fuss is about. I'm actually on the first track right now, and yup. Lovely textures. I'm gonna enjoy this.

Trollheart · 05-12-2015, 10:36 AM

I need help here. (Well, obviously.)

No seriously. I know someone suggested The idler wheel but though I've been through the entire thread three times I can't find the post to determine who it was that suggested it. Little help? I assume I'm just missing it, like a blind spot, every time, but I swear I can't see the post...
