Trollheart Listens to Every Album on Wiki's List for 2017

Wow didn't know Swifty dropped an album. Also if you didn't mind Syd so much. You can check out The Internet album that came out 2015. She does the vocals for the band. Pretty good stuff that you might end up liking. Obviously whenever you get time since you are busy with this list.

He does look like a bottom.

A name like Brett just screams that, doesn't it?

What the blue jumping **** is a DROGA? ****ed if I know. Not crazy about the opening track, but we'll see how it goes. Like the piano on the second track anyway. I'm not really sure what's happening to me. It's too early to say I'm finally “getting” hip-hop, but I'm definitely hating it less than I used to. This ain't bad at all. I like the trap tone in the third song too. “Jump” is pretty hilarious, though I'm less amused by the high-pitched squeaky voice like on “High (Interlude)”. He certainly uses the word nigger a lot. I mean, a lot! Nice soul feel to “Kill” (lots of niggers in there!) and generally, yeah, I am quite enjoying this. Someone save me before I start learning how to drive so I can buy a car, have it chopped and ride around Dublin bouncing up and down on the suspension with this blasting out of the stereo. I'm a PROG HEAD dammit! I got standards!

All right, my resistance continues to fade as I listen to pizzicato strings (of course they're on a synth but still) on “Pick Up the Phone” - what the hell? This sounds like something from Imagine Dragons or something! Weird: I legitimately thought the playback had screwed up or a YouTube had started up by mistake! “It's not design” is like some cool seventies or eighties disco hit – definitely reminds me of Sylvester's “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” and something else, though I can't think of what. Cool to the max. Oh, I think it's “Can You Feel It?” Not sure. Love this album. Big ****ing BIG surprise, getting more every day. I'll never regret doing this project.

Check out more from this artist? Yeah
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? I'm getting there

Album title: Songs of Cinema
Artist: Michael Bolton
Genre: Pop/Showtunescore
Nationality: American
Release date: February 10
Position in Discography: Twenty-third
Fear Factor: Low
Familiar with this artist? Yes
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? Kind of
Average RYM Score: 2.56
Well, this is an album I could review and rate without even listening to it, but that's not the Trollheart way, so let's press play. Damn! Bolton really likes to wring the last drop out of every song doesn't he? The male Mariah Carey? A white man who thinks he's a black blues singer? Call him what you will, his voice is certainly distinctive. This collection could of course be sung by anyone and I'd feel much the same about it: basically, who the hell gives one solitary **** about these songs? But there you go: someone obviously does, or do they? This album barely dented either the British top 40 or the Billboard chart. Quite right too. I mean, who hasn't heard “When a Man Loves a Woman”, “Stand by Me” or “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”? And all of the originals are far superior to what Bolton does with them here. Ah well. I guess his swimming pool wasn't quite big enough, or he needed a house exclusively for use only on Thursdays. Can't blame him I suppose. **** yes I can! I think Bolton has made it his mission to be the most annoying, pervasive and pointless artist in creation, constantly bombarding us with albums we neither want nor need. I mean: Ain't No Mountain High Enough: A Tribute to Hitsville USA? Bolton Swings Sinatra? **** the hell off you ****. The only good thing on this comes when Dolly shows him how to sing “I Will Always Love You”. For Bolton, replace love with hate and you have my feelings. Or maybe just ignore. Time to bail the **** out of this self-congratulatory ****fest. And stay the **** away from Seger you turd.

Check out more from this artist? I liked his early stuff, but now? About as much chance as the chances that his next album won't also be a completely pointless tribute to something nobody cares about.

Album title: No Culture
Artist: Mother Mother
Genre: Indie Rock
Nationality: Canadian
Release date: February 10
Position in Discography: Sixth
Fear Factor: Low
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? A little
Average RYM Score: 2.75
If I remember correctly, my luck with Canadian indie rock bands has not been great. But this starts off well, and though I'm now four tracks in and kind of haven't been paying full attention, this track is pretty sweet too. “Back in School”, with attendant cries of children, who are, I'm sure, glad to be back there. The title track is good too. I kind of can't point to a whole lot I specifically like here, but I can make enough of a determination that the album is better than I expected. Would probably be a grower.

Check out more from this artist? I might
