>You could argue that everything aside front the rating itself is useless. Or you could just read the review.
conversely you could also argue that the rating is the least useful part

Or you could just not look at either the rating or review and listen to the album

Yeah was a little shocked this didnt have a write up given the number of ratings and lavish praise it gets.
Neek definitely check this. I approached each EP in turn to split it up a bit, as whilst it works wonderfully as an album experience it is a lot to take in in one go.
The live album is also fun from what I've heard.

Indeed it is. I thought this style of music would be too difficult to pull off live, but he did it

this seems like a necessary listen for the genre; i didn't have to read half of the review to be convinced

>this seems like a necessary listen for the genre
absolutely
this, dance with the dead's debut, lazerhawk's debut, dan terminus' wrath of code, perturbator's dangerous days or uncanny valley, mega drive's 198x or seas of infinity and you're good to go basically

yeah imo if everything up to (and maybe including, idk) the “this shit slaps” line was deleted, the review quality would increase. first para seems like a weird hollow flex, where you claim you were about to contextualize the album but chose not to, kinda like “having a girlfriend but she goes to a different school”. it gives the reader the impression that you’ve heard maybe 3 synth wave albums (the ones comprising the trilogy). and when it is the largest paragraph it becomes a p unsatisfying ‘hook’ imo.
everyone else didn’t mind aside from gyro so maybe it’s neither here nor there

A bit of a meandering paragraph, but I think helps build up to the very minimalist line. So much disertation and reflexion only to come to simple conclusion :]

cheers Jots for the c/c.
My intent was in part to have a slightly waffly, pontificate-y opening paragraph only to u-turn on it in order to emphasise what really matters i.e. that the compilation and the genre that it champions are both very impressive and worth mulling over, but that when listening to the damn thing we're all just here for a good time. I guess I was interested in writing a sort of broad musing of the genre simply because it interested me (not intended as a flex), but didn't think fleshing it out would serve the review of this particular project, and so instead tried to use a concise version as a vehicle to communicate some basic info on the artist and genre and establish some of the themes of the review (eclecticism, importance of influences, the informal/self-referential prose etc.). Given that I concluded an extended discussion wouldn't serve the review, perhaps I should have scrapped it entirely in favour of a different opener, and I certainly take the point that it may not have landed as a hook in the way I had intended, but eh, I'm still learning how to do this whole writing thingme and this turned out pretty much how I wanted it to be.
