 Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 9:13 am Post subject: Album-a-day for a month/The Z's Review Thread |
 |
|
I have decided that starting 8/5/2010-9/5/2010, I will try to listen and critique one album each day.
What I'm asking:
Request albums! The first 32 albums that I have not heard I will listen to! EDIT: Doesn't matter what genre!
Give your opinions! But don't put anything like "oh dey suk lololol" because I have learned that's no bueno.
What not to do:
Post troll albums. I have already heard ITAOTS, Party Hard is amazing, etc.
Be a complete douchebag to my opinions. You have an opinion. I get it. Don't be a Kanye.
Insult me directly. Again, no bueno, and if you post an album AND insult me directly, I will not listen to it.
Got it? Good!
EDIT: 1:14 pm, 8/2: Holy crap! Most days filled, and I haven't even gotten close to the fifth!

Wow, you have a lot of money to buy so many albums so quickly

I'll get this in before someone else does and say Between the Buried and Me - Colors. If you've heard that already, try Vertical Horizon's "Go" for some alt-rock action, or Ayreon's "The Human Equation" for a good old-fashioned prog metal opera.

Serious advice now: No-one likes indecision in their work, so find what you like that you're even remotely good at, and stick with it. Don't flit from one thing to another, because that just smacks of a large lack of determination and drive. And people don't like you for that, and won't remember you for it. I mean, I get that you have a plucky spirit and a willingness to try new things, but there's a limit, man. |
I might knock it down to just Thursday and Friday. |

BTW, If I add the album, I will make an edit to the OP.
I will not spam this thread, only for reviews.

Does it have to be metal? If not... The New Pornographers - 'Electric Version'. If you're planning to buy it, it's currently only $3.99 on Amazon's MP3 store.

| If you're looking for stuff you probably don't know, I'd suggest Like Vines - The Hush Sound. Everyone that I ask about the album, and I asked quite a few peeps, said they never heard about it. It's far from bad too. |

Yewb is a very smart man for recommending The Human Equation.
I'll request Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine

If you're doing live albums, Silverchair - Live From Faraway Stables. A nice range of their discography. Second half has some amazing songs.

I don't know if you've already heard this or not, and it's 16.99 on iTunes (or at least, I think it was when I bought it), but I'd like to suggest:
My Morning Jacket- Okonokos |

Meh, Ayreon albums are hard to get into (story-wise) when you're not familiar with it.
Can I request another album? Seeing as Yewb did two, too. This time it's not a metal album, but progressive rock (featuring one of the most elegant and underrated guitarists ever, IMO): Camel - Rajaz
(Rajaz is the album name  )

Ok, this is the last time:
NO MORE 2 ALBUMS.
You get one. Yewb got two because he thought I wasn't gonna do one, and Ontwikseltsaar get's another one because he went before Yewb.

Actually, he thought you weren't gonna do one, and he suggested two other albums to do, from which you were to choose one.
Fair enough though, thanks a lot for still including my second suggestion (=

Hmm, I'd say... Fear of a Blank Planet - Porcupine Tree. One of my favorite albums.

In all fairness, that was also the first time you said that. But yeah, I only intended for you to pick one of the two albums I suggested. Obviously it's up to you if you want to listen to them both, but I didn't expect you to.
