Recommend Me Albums, Each of Which I Will Review in One Word
 
Yeah so this is pretty self explanatory, I think. Give me an album to listen to, and I'll do you a huge favor and write a review that's a word long. However, I do have rules to keep any of y'all from giving me too many albums:

First, check what time it is. If the hour is an even, single-digit number, you may recommend me two albums if the average of the lengths of your real first name and your username is greater than six. Spaces, underscores, etc. do not count towards your username's length - only letters and numbers do. If the average is less than six, you may not recommend me an album at this time. However, if the average is exactly six, you've landed on a Daily Double and may wager up to three albums on answering a general knowledge question correctly. However, since you start with two albums, if you bet three and get the question wrong, I force you to listen to an album and review it in a word.

If the hour is an odd, single-digit number, the process is pretty straightforward. Find the middle letter (or middle two letters) of your middle name, and recommend an album starting with that letter or those two letters that also has the same number of letters in the title as your middle name has.

If the hour is two digits, look to the minutes. Add the two digits of the minute, keep doing it until you get a single-digit number, and then follow the rules for single-digit hours from above.

(The time at which you recommend something will be the time where I am. Please keep that in mind. Right now I am in the Pacific time zone, but I live in the Eastern time zone. I will be on planes back home for much of the day Friday, during which time I will lack internet connection, but I'll be stopping in the Mountain time zone briefly. If you recommend an album while I am there, I expect you to follow all the rules about time accurately to where I am at the moment. I don't plan on telling you when I change time zones, but at the beginning of the day Friday I will be in the Pacific, and by the end of the day I will be in the Eastern. I hope that clears up any questions you might have!)

I also have a pretty complicated way I plan on classifying my reviews by color, but I'll share that with everyone later. I can't wait for your first recommendations to come flowing in!

This attempt at trolly satire fell REALLY flat, sorry

I've never heard of that album and I don't believe your middle name is that long.

grindy 06-25-2015 03:03 PM

I don't have a middle name, but I have a patronymic. Does that count?

Trollheart 06-25-2015 03:22 PM

Really not too clear on why you're making fun of us who are just trying to provide decent music discussion. Also, shouldn't this be in the "jokes" section (unless you're serious)?

Yes, but it's 2:26 here right now, so that doesn't matter at the moment.

I was pretty much about to start an actual thread to get recommendations when TechnicLePanther started his, and then Batlord made his just now, so I felt like it would look weird for me to do the same thing as you guys. So, yeah, those rules are a joke, if a badly done one, but, speaking totally seriously, if anybody actually wants to give me an album to listen to, that would be much appreciated. (I'll even use more than one word to review it.)

Machine 06-25-2015 03:29 PM

Review your mom in one word.

Why not a sentence. Or three? A word is just gonna be "crap", "great", "classic", "****" etc. Seems a little unadventurous.

What kind of music or does it matter? Would you review this for instance?

Why are rap albums so long? But yes I will listen to this.

Yeah, the one word thing was also not entirely serious. That's why there's the parenthetical in the post you quoted.

I absolutely would review that but I would only use one word.

That's really nice that I'm giving everyone a fair shot here (Cage Cage CAGE!) yet you two pricks put down my rec without even bothering to listen to it. Charming. Remind me to do the same with any recs you send my way.

I think he was talking about the Lil Ugly Mane album that Machine recommended. He said it's trash, I said maybe it's good, because it has a good score on RYM, so I plan on listening to it. If you were serious about that wolves thing I'll listen to it as well, but I thought you were joking. I don't know where you got me putting down your rec from.

Hey you cranky old man, I was talking about Lil Ugly Mane.

Learn to recognize what responses go with what post.. Generally they are consecutive :D

OK I may have misinterpreted that, as it came right after your post. Where I got you seeming to put it down was you said you'd use one word, and I assumed it was not intended to be a complimentary one.

Yeah, it's new age music but I find it very relaxing and it's definitely not a joke. I'd be interested to hear your honest opinion of it.

Apologies DWV if I cursed you in error.

Um, they were consecutive, which is why I said it. Learn to reference your quote. Your post came right after Josef's showing the pic of my album, so I'm not really sure what I was supposed to think. I'm not physic, you know! ;)

DwnWthVwls 06-25-2015 04:53 PM

Lol.. no it didn't. His post showing your album came after mine.


His was post #9, mine was #10. Learn to math :bonkhead:

Trollheart 06-25-2015 04:58 PM

Woops! Yeah you're right: it was the quote I was looking at. Sorry bout that man! :banghead:

DwnWthVwls 06-25-2015 05:01 PM

I forgive you. I'm going to check out your rec also, I've never heard that before.

Cool. You'll probably hate it, but you never know...

DwnWthVwls 06-25-2015 05:12 PM

Why would I hate this? I love mellow music. This is the kind of stuff i listen to as background music when i play video games. I'm 10 minutes in atm. Is it just the one 20minute track?

edit: maybe if you got in plug sometime you'd know that. :D

It's two tracks. This is it. Glad you're enjoying it. I love the way he mixes in the wolf howls. I love wolves.

It's the capital W that does it. Makes you look too superior. What's wrong with good ol' lowercase, huh?

Nothing wrong with lowercase, we've actually considered doing some of it tbh but we're more of the over the top and maximalist type of group.

You think this is a ****ing game? I ain't playing no games.

Apart from beer pong and the occasional whooping my 7 year old cousin's ass at monopoly ("In your ****ing face! Oh what, you're crying? Just like the little bitch you are, get the **** out of my sight.") I don't really play any games tbh.

DwnWthVwls 06-25-2015 06:47 PM

Well that's a lie.. You play Hungry Hungry Hippo with your guitar.
