The unfortunate thing about this forum is that most of the members that have been here a while (and new members that have read enough threads to feel as if they have been here for a long time) are tired of the hype that some individuals attach to certain albums. The preferred scene in this forum, I find, is the very underground scene, albums that are so off the radar that hype is impossible to attach. But what I realized some time ago is that hype is there for a reason - it builds momentum for a reason. Every important album in history has had some great hype behind it at some point or another, that's why we get the greatest albums of all time lists from different editors.
It's just a matter of WHO gives the hype. For example, Neutral Milk Hotel's fans aren't the best at hyping the album.
Anyways, review for a Ghost is Born is coming very soon ; )
