Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

hmm after a couple listens, I'm inclined to agree with this rating. It's a really cool album, and musically it has a lot going for it, but a lot of it is really really really cheesy, especially in the vocal department. Maybe this just isn't my thing, or maybe I need some LSD idk. For now I'm going to give this a 3. I like it and will probably re-visit it so my rating might come up later. Maybe I just don't get it or something.

Yeh you just don't get it.



To be honest, I toyed with the idea that maybe I was just being hit by the initial "wow" factor before I wrote my review, but I'm still listening to it now. It certainly takes getting used to though, you can't expect everyone to like it immediately if they don't have the right mindset for it.

I was being totally sarcastic with the "I don't get it comment" but sure. There's something about the album that will keep me coming back but whether I grow to like it more remains to be seen.

I know. I had to rant about something other than the "cheesy" bit, that would've taken too long.

there's honestly nothing really even wow about this other than the fact that it's really original but it's just so ridiculous and i just can't take it seriously. try mr. bungle or something if you want ridiculous in a good way

People are also allowed to dispute.



"there's honestly nothing really even wow about this other than the fact that it's really original but it's just so ridiculous and i just can't take it seriously."



Yeh nothing wow about it apart from its originality, production, variety, ambition or how it just likes to explode. Accept that it's going to be bizarre, taking it seriously is no harder than enjoying it.

im sorry but production never really "wows" me if something has great production which this does then it's great but im not gonna be like omg production



as far as variety, i think that can go some ways. i think something can be extremely varied in tone, atmosphere, and overall songwriting (ok computer for a generic example) yet feel like a cohesive statement. this does not, this feels indulgent to the point of being a turn off.



ambition-wise, this is a great example of something being ambitious to a fault. the music just does not bear the incredible weight bestowed upon its concept im sorry there's just no real full connection with this and its concept. there's no real full connection with this at all



not trying to argue just talkin man

It's cool, I can deal with talking.



And Aids, I really, really hate the use of cheesy to describe things like this. It's just... bleckh *steam rises from ears*. So don't mistake that for me being a huge asshole. I'm just a regular one.

what word would you prefer me to use? a lot of the vocals on this album are really really cheesy, it's the only word that fits sorry.

idk, dated? A word that doesn't carry the same sub-level connotations.

"idk, dated? A word that doesn't carry the same sub-level connotations. "



....but the reason I picked the word "dated" is precisely because it carries those sub-level connotations; I wanted to say something negative about it.

Nothing on this album is cheesy. If anything, it's camp. There's a big difference between a romantic comedy and a cult classic.
