Love or Hate? Redux: Tracks Version
 

When I made my return last week, no doubt several phrases went through certain people's minds, including I'm sure "Oh **** no!" "What did I ever do to deserve this?" and "I told you we should have put rocks in his pockets!" But among these, the phrase "Love or Hate?" may also have been whizzing around the minds of some of you less homicidally-inclined people.

For those who missed it originally, "Love or Hate?" was a simple proposition, whereby I asked members to suggest albums that I had not heard. I would then listen to them and report back on whether I liked them or not. Simple, but it became wildly popular. It was also, however, wildly exhausting and I eventually put it to sleep after listening to about two hundred albums, many of which were good, some of which were great and a lot of which were just meh.

But now, it's back! Well, sort of. Presenting ....

This time there's no way I could listen to full albums; I have way too much to catch up on and so much to do. So it's single tracks only. They can be from albums or they can be singles, or whatever you like, as long as they follow the short list of rules below.

Love or Hate? Redux Rules:



Results will be colour coded, as below:
Blue for True Love: this is, as it suggests, a song or track I find to be totally amazing and mindblowing.
Green for Love: Self explanatory, no?
Orange for Like: A track I don't quite Love but don't Hate either.
White for Meh: A track I'm either not really bothered by. Very mediocre.
Red for Hate: Again, self-explanatory.

Please do not take personal offence if I hate the track(s) you suggest: in playing, you are accepting that I may not like the same things you like, and I will not hesitate to say so.

Annnnd GO!

If I remember correctly you have to post a link so you don't have to search for the music yourself, right? I ask because I have a few but they aren't on YouTube. If I pm you a download link is that allowed or is it strictly forbidden?

Edit: sorry just read number 10 in spoiler, question still stands though as it's a download not a stream.

you should make an exception for the 10+ minute rule because I have a song I always tell everyone that's the best thing ever made in the world... Still it might be a gamble for you, I do imagine you'd find it very interesting at least. 13 minutes

and if not, that's obv cool, cuz then more people would probably try to change your mind too. Here's this

:laughing:

that's part of my stand up act, glad you enjoyed it

Hope you like it.

A link for me to download from is fine.
Pretty sure you recced me this whole album in the original thread and I liked it. I've definitely heard it. Or was it CAIHNH? One or the other. Anyway I have heard it. Sorry.
I've been looking to see what all the fuss is about. Thanks.
Heard it man. I don't live in a cave after all... :rolleyes:

You kinda do though.

Definitely recommend looking into the lyrics on your review.

I'll also throw in a rec for The Separation by Ceremony. I would post a YT vid but it's only available in a video with two songs. It's on Spotify though!

Sorry man, heard this one too! Isn't this the one where he's screaming at his girlfriend or something? There's a line about killing his baby? Yeah, I heard it.
Gotta do better than that.

Also, it's called a cavern. We do have to maintain some standards, you know!

How the **** have you heard so much Eminem?

P. Vert - Stickball

a note to all of you.....this is and has been on the top of my list for 7 inches i must find before i die for several years....if you see it please buy it and i'll get you back

This'll be TH's song of the year.

Whip some skull on me bitch!

it's the song of a life time....and incredibly hard to find :(

thank Satan for the internet! :)

Guy I used to work with in the warehouse was forever blasting it from a tape machine so I got to hear (but hardly appreciate) quite a lot of it. No, I have not heard that one.
I assume you mean it has to be on vinyl, not just downloaded?
BIG Nick Cave fan, so you're out of luck there, Mondo me ol' son!
Um, what? :confused:

TH it would hurt more if you ignore my track than if you hate it lol

No tracks will be ignored. If I've heard it then I'll tell you, otherwise, as long as there's no compelling reason for me not to listen to it, I will. If there is a compelling reason, I will let you know.

Good to know. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it.

if you've heard this I'm gonna start murdering

Nope. Keep the red mist back...

James Blake - Retrograde

Meh, I did a JB album in "Love or Hate?" originally. Don't recall being very impressed with it, so don't expect too much. But I'll give it a go...

Yeah. You know what? This isn't working. I'm bored even thinking about doing it. I want to go back to the old thread. Problem: not enough time. Possible solution: do albums on the basis of pulling names out of the hat (need to get a hat first!) - what do yaz think?

So the idea would be, take the list that's left, assign each a number say, then choose a number and that person's album gets done. Maybe try to do one or two a week instead of my previous three a day, see how it goes. Just an embryonic (if not moronic) idea at the moment, so would welcome your comments.

Yeah, single tracks suck anyway.

They do. They really, really do.

I don't what the **** you just said, but you special, man. You reached out... and you touched my heart.

You really are ****ing wasted, aren't you?

We just reaaaaally missed Love or Hate?

Yeah I know. If it drives me into an early grave will you be satisfied, or will you expect a zombiefied/beyond the grave version? I think we all know the answer to that question....

If it comes to that I'll start a puppet account and keep the thread moving. We found out the hard way that this site doesn't fair well without someone to aim all of our music recs at.

Yes. But...

Okay, so disregard this as I'm going back to the original thread.
Mods, if you would, please close or even delete this thread.
