Trollheart against the world!
Yes, it's the thread Batty has been waiting for!
If there's one thing guaranteed to generate interest and make people take notice here, it's when I offer myself up as a sacrificial lamb/whipping boy/musical punchbag, and that's what I'm doing. Why? Cos it's fun, and we need some fun back in this forum. If it has to be at my expense, so be it. Recommend me an album you think/know I'll hate. Any artist, any genre, even if I've heard it already. I don't expect not to hate it, but if I can find THREE GENUINE good things to say about it, you lose. If not, you win. Has to be three. Two good things won't cut it. And they have to be genuine, and about the actual music/production/lyrics whatever; no "the album cover isn't ****e" or "I like the singer's name" bollocks. No. This has to do with the content of the album's music, otherwise it don't count. One album per member at a time. Recs will as always be treated on a FCFS basis, and though I will do my best to listen to it all the way through, I reserve the right not to finish an album if I can find nothing in it, but in that case you win, and I will try not to let that happen. Right then: GO! Oh. You have. Right then, what we got? The List (these will be done in order, as they're suggested. Links will be provided). Current state of play: Trollheart 5 - The World 3 Silkk The Shocker - Charge It 2 Da Game (SGR) Van Morrison - Astral Weeks (Rubber Soul) Koenjihyaekki - Viva Koenji! (Grindy) Aksak Maboul - Un Peu de l'Âme des Bandits (Guybrush) The Germs - (GI) (Batty) Mirt - Random Soundtrack (Norg) Pere Ubu - Modern Dance (GD) Wolves in Sheepskin - They Don't Know Though (Frownland) Albert Ayler - Music Is The Healing Force Of The Universe (Ribbons) Wallows - Tell Me That it's Over (Yorkedaddy) Tupac - All Eyez On Me (Batty) |
Jeez Trolls, are you really sure about this?
Yeah? Okay then. Silkk The Shocker - Charge It 2 Da Game https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...t2DaGame98.jpg I believe this Youtube link will bring you to the album's full playlist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYl4...ukfuntI7ZVuS3W PS You'll have to click the link directly to be brought to the album playlist on Youtube. |

Oh boy.

You're all a shower of bastards and I love you all. Pray for me. :D

:) Uh, that is Aksak Maboul's Un Peu de l'Âme des Bandits (a RIO classic). |
I think I hate you most of all.
Is there a YT link? I'm not trying to search that! :laughing: |
OK, some points. First of all, as I said, expect me to hate your album. I may not - stranger things have happened, such as Trump becoming President. But you can't expect miracles. What I will do is try to write as humorous and light-hearted a review as I can, laying out exactly why I hate the album. Think my "reviews" in The Meat Grinder and sometimes the ones that ended up on the wrong side of "Love or Hate?" At worst, it will hopefully provide a few laughs.
Second, don't expect reviews soon. I have a ton of irons in the fire now, so many that I'm considering whether I should be dialling 999 for the Fire Brigade (no it's 999 here in Ireland, smartass) so I will get to them as and when I can. Third, apart from the fun aspect of this, a reason I'm doing this is so I can test my own tolerance, see if I have come any sort of way along the road in appreciating or trying to appreciate music I don't like, and whether or not I can see the light in the darkness, find the silver lining in the cloud, see the best in things, or at least in music. It may be an abject failure but hell, there's only one thing better than watching someone go down in flames, right? And that's when it's watching Trollheart go down in flames. Is that burning I smell? |

Cool. I'm boycotting Roganify, in case you weren't aware. Thanks.
