Ant has been the kindest so far, and I reckon will end up remaining the only one who even gave this album any kind of decent rating, but hey, you know, Hi I'm Trollheart.
I have a feeling there's going to be many records in the album club over time that don't exactly go over well with the majority in here. At least you had the balls to choose something that doesn't attempt to pander. I feel like my own pick, while a really good album, isn't exactly the most honest expression of what my tastes are really like. If I didn't try to be so diplomatic, I'd have chosen something far more likely to go down in flames.

I wouldn't say so either. I just really don't like it personally. If I had to judge it more at an impersonal distance, I'd say it's clearly competent, creative and has a vision of it's own. It's just that the way it achieves all that grates on me
