I highly doubt an album reviewer could properly review an album based off of a third of the content.

There are plenty of albums where songs work horrid on their own but with in the context of the album they are awesome.

There are also albums where I thought half of it was awesome while the other half was meh.

So you really can't judge an album based off of a third of the content. To compare that to missing a second of an album is ****ty logic.

Well, let's see. Yorke, if I quite strongly disliked nearly 1/2 of Art Angels and the singles, is their any chance I'll enjoy the rest/find it better in an overall context? I assume the answer is a big fat no, but if I'm wrong I might give it another listen. I'd really rather not though because I think I've heard all I need. If no, I'd say I've been able to judge it based on that just fine.

You don't have to do a damn thing, if the songs you heard have lowered your interest in the album then by all means don't listen to it. You don't have to. I'm sure as hell not going to listen to a Justin Bieber album. But I also don't have any opinions on any Justin Bieber albums. Because I never listened to them.

One time I listened to someone pooping and I could swear I was hearing the pained cries of Jesus on the cross. Then another time I listened to someone pooping and it sounded like the wailing of pure ecstasy on the exact moment that Donald Trump's parents conceived him. I was like whoa

Sure, missing a second of an album was hyperbole of the logic that YorkeDaddy was displaying. Still, YD is in no place to talk if he's never even heard Metal Machine Music, which I suspect is the case given his recent comments on the record. Not to mention that Plainview didn't necessarily 'review' it, he just said he didn't like it.

I've heard more than enough of MMM

**Frownland** · 11-18-2015, 09:00 AM

I highly doubt that. My guess is that you hate the album without any knowledge of what it sounds like because it's a popular opinion to jump on.

YorkeDaddy · 11-18-2015, 12:25 PM

Literally told you a page back that I've skipped through the entire thing mostly because I wanted to know if it ever changed in any notable way (it didn't). I'm so sorry it's so hard for you to grasp that someone could genuinely think the album is a pile of feces

**Goofle** · 11-18-2015, 12:38 PM

There's an obvious difference between the types of album we are discussing here and I think there's certainly more validity in dismissing MMM without hearing the entire thing as compared to Art Angels. However, I also don't think you need to have heard Art Angels in its entirety to dismiss it.
