Hmmm might be a hate but it's worth a shot anyway.

OK guys just keep sending. I don't have the time to add them all now, but I will, so don't think you're not being considered because the list hasn't been updated. I'll try to do so before the weekend, or at least by Monday. Or Tuesday. Wednesday tops. Possibly Thursday. Well, by next weekend anyway. Or the one after that...

Title: Phantasia
Artiste: Lite
Genre: Rock/Instrumental

Track 1 (Love) Pretty cool opener, like it a lot
Track 2 (Love) Much the same; didn't actually realise we had passed on to the second track
Track 3 (Love) This is really energetic. Love the guitar
Track 4 (Love)This isn't but I still love it, even more in fact. Interesting shift in direction. I still like it. A lot.
Track 5 (Love) Pretty much like everything here so far. Another sudden shift into a different style. Lovely.
Track 6 (Love) Really nice laidback little piece, very short
Track 7 (Love) I really like the way some of these songs seem to run down to an almost stop, then pick up in a totally different vein. If I wasn't watching the tracks I would think at least two of these were different, making up four songs in total.
Track 8 (Love) Second favourite so far. Another which seems to split into two separate tracks
Track 9 (Love) Yeah, love this too.
Track 10 (Love) Running out of superlatives here
Track 11 (Love) Just incredible

End result: When I first saw they were a Japanese instrumental band I rolled my eyes and thought of all those boring post-rock bands I've been subjected to. Absolutely the opposite here. Great melody, great arrangements and very easy on the ear. Excellent pick Plankton!

So, Love or Hate? Hmm. Let me see... Love of course

Chances of a full review: 1/10 (Again, only because it's all instrumental and I find those sort of albums very hard to review in depth)

I knew I was taking a chance with an instrumental album, but they are truly talented and that is one great piece of work. Happy you enjoyed it.

Imma throw in another favorite of mine in the post rock area

Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Not my favorite Tortoise album, but it's probably objectively the best one.

Title: You're dead!
Artiste: Flying Lotus
Genre: Experimental/Electronic/Hip-hop

Track 1 (Hate) Interesting but a little confused. Not as bad as I thought but very short so hard to say
Track 2 (Hate) Yeah, not mad about this. Very jazzy.
Track 3 (Hate) Don't like this either. Mad horns are not my style, as I've mentioned before
Track 4 (Hate) Forty seconds? Seriously? Packs a lot into it but I don't really like it.
Track 5 (Hate) Oh great! Fast rapping. Just what I want to hear.
Track 6 (Hate) Yeah, this just drives me mad.
Track 7 (Love) This one isn't bad; has a kind of post-rock/prog thing going
Track 8 (Hate) Sort of the same as track 4. Too much in too short a space
Track 9 (Love) This is splendid; slow sensuous soul with a touch of gospel
Track 10 (Love) This is just gorgeous; slow, dreamy, almost ethereal. Reminds me of a slower version of “The Whale” by ELO. Shut up.
Track 11 (Love) This is really nice too.
Track 12 (Love) This is interesting. I like it.
Track 13 (Love) This is nice too
Track 14 (Hate) Mad horns again, though the tune is ok. Horns ruin it for me though. Pity: we were getting into a nice groove there.
Track 15 (Love) Ah we're back on track. Lovely little piece.
Track 16 (Love) Yeah this is pretty sweet too.
Track 17 (Love) yeah, very ethereal, very soft and gentle, like this a lot.
Track 18 (Love) Kind of a continuation of the last track but with a bit more punch
Track 19 (Love) This is really good too.

End result: Started off badly --- really badly --- and I expected to hate this. But although I don't love it I certainly see a lot of good in it. More than just a hip-hop album certainly, if it can even be called that.

So, Love or Hate? I'd have to say Love, surprising myself

Chances of a full review: 5/10
