Qwertyy vs. Your Favourite Album
 

Awhile ago I had a section in my journal where I essentially ripped off TH's Love or Hate thread and reviewed the albums that you all recommended I listen to. After a fairly long run (by my standards, at least) it started to get a little tedious and I generally lacked the enthusiasm to search out the stuff that was being throw at me.

Today, I've decided it's time to start the next, somewhat similar, quest. Qwertyy vs. Your Favourite Album will follow a somewhat similar format, except with a few twists for extra entertainment value. At it's core, this thread will consist of you recommending me some of your all-time favourite records, under the caveat that I haven't heard them before, in an attempt to be crowned the best album.

The way I plan to do this is still a little confusing to layout, so I will provide you with an example to help clarify.

Let's say Frownland recommends me the first album. I listen to it, it's okay, and I move onto the next LP. It just happens to be Batlord's recommendation, which I end up absolutely loving, thus making it the best album at the time. Now Batlord's album will sit in the index at the bottom of this post, and for every album I listen to afterwards that I deem less enjoyable, he will gain a point. That is, until someone comes along and gives me an album I decide is better, which will then replace Batty's. I guess it would be a King of the Hill style scoring system, if that makes it any clearer.

To make it fair, you are not able to recommend another album until the current "best album" changes. If I can somehow make it through everyones recommendation without the top album being knocked off, we'll just start again. Or maybe the thread will end, i dunno.

Anyway, I think that's a clear enough explanation. I will also be providing a review for the album, which depending on how I feel will either be a track by track breakdown or just a paragraph or two summing up my thoughts.

I will allow member albums but only 1 per member. So let's say Ki recommends one of his albums, he isn't allowed to recommend any of his other releases for the remainder of the thread. This might get changed in the future, but for now I think it's easier this way because I don't give a **** about the music any of you make (except for Mondo, duh.)

If you have an questions, don't hesitate to ask. Unless it's a dumb one, then you can **** off.

mother ****er

What did you expect to happen?

i thought you were competitive enough to try to give me something decent. i guess i should know better.

There should be rounds. Each round each user recommends one album. First come, first to be reviewed. After everybody's album has been reviewed and a winner found, it repeats.

well if it's anything like my journal, it'll end up turning into only 3 or 4 members recommending albums. i think i'll need to gauge the participation before doing something like that.

How about you listen to From All Purity by Indian like you said you flaker.

maybe i already did

1. Tristan is going to give you some fruity emo album or something and you'll be on its dick the whole time.

2. I'd think my life in general would make it clear that I value being a dick far more than winning anything.

i'll give ya number 2 but my money is on grindy's dick.

Well maybe if you don't want to review that one you should try out Meatraffle's Hi Fi Classics.

i didnt actually listen to it. i got tired of doing that journal and haven't looked at it since. totally forgot about that album.

Oh, I thought that maybe you took me up on one of those times I told you to skip the review and just check it out because it's so awesome.

nah im lazy

So are you gonna review Riddle Box or not, bitch? Hop to it.

yeah yeah, i'll get on it.


:(

What have you heard from the strokes?

I'm assuming all of them but if not what have you not listened to?

yeah, i've heard all of their stuff.

It's funny that you think people care about your opinion on music enough to make a thread that's going to fail.

Your point? I'm making music every month. I'm not asking people to send me albums to review them (especially when I know my opinions aren't always valid). Your attempt of trying to be clever is worse than Frownland in the Trump thread.

my point is that i don't really care if people respect my opinion on music, but i'm sure they consider it more valid than the albums you spend half an hour making in your bedroom.

what's up with you coming into every new thread and journal just to voice how much you don't like the idea? what's the last thing you've contributed to the forum aside from being the person everyone picks on?

i'll wait

I've been spending the whole month making tracks. Not sure where you get the idea that I make an album in a half an hour. But please make assumptions like you know something. I spent a **** ton of time trying to make the tracks sound perfect and most times, it works out. Sometimes it doesn't. I don't just put random **** on bandcamp and consider it gold.

And honestly, it's fun. And I don't contribute much as I don't have time. But I like getting under people's skin.

How about Death Grips Qwertyy?

you're not getting under my skin. you're basically batlord if he didn't understand how to troll or properly construct a joke.

If it helps, I don't really hate you.

same thing, unfortunately. if you're looking for a good idea of what i've heard check out my RYM or Last.fm in my sig. as a rule of thumb if i've rated more than one album by a band i've probably got around to hearing all of their stuff.

Please hop off my dick as it is getting sore.

In all seriousness, I'd love to rec you some stuff. What genre are you looking for mostly? Or does it matter?

you took that as a compliment?

whatever you wanna throw at me, dickhead.

He's really into new age music.

I've been listening to it a lot and I think you'd dig it.

i'll add it.

frown were you recommending that album as part of the thread, or just as something to check out when i'm not being a lazy sunnuvabitch?

Just checking, Pallbearer? I didn't see them.

i've only heard Foundation of Burden and i don't even really remember what i thought of it. they work just fine.
