Yep, see his explanation upthread. My opinion: He's going too fast and needs to give these albums more time--both the ones that he likes and the ones he dislikes.

It's like some weird ADHD thing. I'm hoping it's actually a semi-decent satire, in which Mr. Nobody is parodying the way people consume music nowadays, allowing it one listen (or less) to sink in and discarding it if there's no immediate pay-off.

agreed, but you know he won't slow down. people don't do that anymore... hell, i don't even do that anymore.

As long as he's not completely writing off the albums after listening to them once and deciding "these three songs stood out, the rest didn't," I think it's okay. Not to get all canon-worshiping, but these albums have their "reputations" for damn good reasons. Hell, I have found that listening to an album 10 times in one day is much less engaging than spreading those listens out over a period of a few weeks. This shit takes time. Just me, anyway. Somebody with lots of time on his hands and who thinks about this shit way too much.

i'm pretty much obsessed with this stuff today:

The Animals - Retrospective

[SonicAlligator]

Thanks, Tounge-Tied, for this excellent suggestion. Shit's murdering me right now.

I give everything at least two listens and I've gotten to the point where I only have one more album left to listen that's new to me(Arthur).So soon I'll be giving multiple visit's to some of this stuff(I'm a little strapped for cash on this paycheck and I have gotten the feeling that I need to slow down a little. I do try to give everything at least two-three listens before deciding if it's something I'm going to spend a lot of time listening too and then further revisions in the future when necessary.). Also, I listen to other stuff that I just don't get around to posting about(I would say I listen to about 3-7 albums a day,But I only post about four.).I do understand growers and I have some albums that took a while for me to get into,But they did eventually payoff(Velvet Underground & Nico,Clouds Taste Metallic,etc).I try my best to enjoy an album before I completely disregard it(I did after all spend money on it so might as well re-listen a few times.).

Better than any neo-Discharge type hardcore I have heard this year. Classic shit.

This is cool. I don't have that type of faith. I do like how you're talking about these revered albums with only the fact that they're JUST albums in your mind. Your first listen comments - while occasionally dismissive and shortsighted (but that's part of the point) - seem to stem only from you listening to music rather than you listening to people who have listened to music before you.

Amadou & Mariam
Rivers Cuomo ALONE 2

Could easily be my favorite Smiths' "record" if you will.

[Pavement Ist Rad]

Hadn't played this in a while.

Pretty good.
