Now that's a healthy way to approach music.

Meh. I need to have an expectation as to whether I'm going to like it or not, and though I've not always been right in the assumption, most of the time so far I've been pretty close to being on the money.

Check out more from this genre or subgenre? No, unless I have to
(Homer Simpson voice) Wiley Coyote? No? Darn darn darn! So this is my introduction to the delights of Grime, is it? Well, if I'm going to have to listen to it I suppose the man who is regarded as the Godfather of Grime (hence the album title) is as good an introduction as you can get. Meh, it's not without its charm, but basically fast-paced rap against bass and drum patterns (I assume) with no real tune I can recognise (mostly) doesn't really do it for me. Also, I thought I must have heard about four tracks and looked and I was only on track two. Grrr! I'll be honest: this rapid-fire delivery, relentless as it is, is giving me a headache.

You know what? **** this: I'm not listening to seventeen tracks of this. I'm more than three in so I can't use Three Strikes, so let me introduce my new clause:
Bailing Out!

And here I go.

(Note: I got six tracks into this before I bailed)

Expectation Index: 0

@Monkey Man

**** off. I know what I like, and I have a reasonable idea whether I've a good chance or not of liking the album based on the genre, subgenre or in some cases, the artist. Did I say **** off? **** off.

Someone hit Frownland with a shoe: he's stuck in a repeating loop!

Album title: I See You
Artist: The XX
Genre: Indie Rock/Dream Pop
Nationality: English
Release date: January 13
Position in Discography: Third
Fear Factor: Low
Familiar with this artist? No but I've heard of them
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? A little
Check out more from this artist? Yes
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes
From the off, all I can say is that it's ok but I'm not exactly impressed. We'll see how it goes. Okay, after we got past the first three tracks it started getting interesting. A good reason not to overuse the Three Strikes clause too often, and to give an album a chance. Getting into this now. Yeah, after a shaky start it got a lot better and I quite like it now.

Expectation Index: 0

But you said you NEED an expectation. Why do you NEED it? 'S dumb.
