However, in the case of you, noise, I have clicked on so many video links that you have posted along with a stellar write-up that I now know that I will be extremely bored in about 30 seconds if I do that again (you make it sound so good but I just don't like the neo-classical female vocals thing) so I won't - let alone seek out an album.
So there's two examples (posts by you and sidewinder) in which only an album cover, title, and band name would be sufficient for me to decide whether to pay attention to any text or links.

oh, and to contribute: I recently got Plastic Beach by Gorillaz. It's a new album by a well-known artist and I don't really like it at all.
Um, thanks?

I haven't downloaded or purchased much lately. Or rather, I have, and I already posted it, and I'm just trying to enjoy it before I download/buy more. I need to make a trip to the record store, almost went last weekend but wound up doing other things.

Wait I lied...I just remembered I ordered Cabaret Voltaire's Micro-Phonies a few days ago. I have MP3s but wanted to add the CD to my collection because I like it a lot. One of the early industrial bands, huge influence to one of my favorite bands ever, Skinny Puppy. This was pretty much their 2nd more accessible, almost synth-pop album. Of the ones I've heard it's my favorite.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
