Exactly, actually. He can stick with the over processed bull**** he’s comfortable with or put in some effort. I already did him a solid. **** look what ros wrote. He said it better than I ever could.

He should know why.

Should. Doesn't. What now?

Get some musical equivalent to viagra, I guess.

Probably be the same for me. Can imagine what it sounds like.

I haven't heard it so I've not voted in the poll.

but anyway I don't know which version of the album you listened to, but that's like what, 3 tracks you didn't like?

the first track just being a 1:20 intro that's put into full form at the end of the album
I also pointed out the score compression. Even if I enjoy all of the songs on the album it's not a 10/10. It's not necessarily even an 8/10. 7/10 is my benchmark for "I would definitely be cool listening to this." 8/10 is I might seek this out in the future. 9/10 is I will definitely be coming back to this album all the time. 10/10 is this album is a pinnacle of music. The Fall's This Nation's Saving Grace is probably not an album I'll ever want to listen to again. There's nothing particularly interesting about it for me. Maybe I'll relisten to Hex Enduction Hour at some point and hear something I really like and get into them but for now it's not something I'd explore without some coercion.

I’ve mentioned this before but there’s no shame in the 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong compilation

Not true. That's like saying there are enough Shoegaze bands in the world that your boy Chula would be able to get into that scene. Man, I don't think so. He be set in his ways, aint nothing moving the dial off the Classic Rock station. Bro you should know this. Where you be at sometimes? IDK
