Also due to my inability to really understand rating systems, 90% of the time I rate on a binary 1 vs. 5 scale of "dislike" vs. "like"

'you're a weird one like i like the unapologetic love for the myspace scene then you go and pull ignorant shit like this grrrr'



I know I'm weird, just understand that I have a hard time with more modern production sensibilities and I don't like wubs or anything that resembles dubstep. I'm okay with electronic but it depends on the style. It unfortunately can be hard for me to find new stuff that I like but I still try.



'My approach to music is typically defined by "gut feelings" or whatever. And when I first listened to this, the entire time, I was stunned by this feeling of "this just sounds really fucking cool". On top of that, I have a soft spot for highly computerised/digitised sounds, because I like the aesthetic of digital, computational, inhuman-sounding music. I have a massive weakness for music that dehumanises the artist, and this album sounds entirely robotic, inhuman, and a glorifying take on digital trends and consumerism and whatnot, just that entire digitisation of society. It gives me strong feelings of enjoyment.



Musically it's very pretty a lot of the time, but then it goes fucking hard and insanely dirty sounding on Ponyboy and Faceshopping, where it almost highlights negative feelings of dirty digital music that is very resonant and, again, cool. Nothing in recent memory has given me such a Fonz-like feeling of inimitable coolness.

ok that's a good explanation thanks, definitely sounds like a good album for you then. Yeah I noticed your objectivity is pretty low, awesome darkthrone ratings though. Doesn't matter, rating that way is fine.

It's ok to cry is genuinely the cringy-est song I've ever heard. Ponyboy bangs though. Going to give this whole thing a fair shot.

Nah, pretty sure It's Ok To Cry may be the worst song I've ever heard. Will listen to it again when I finish the rest. Like I could not stop myself from bursting out laughing

Guess we're just into polar opposite aspects of the album then. Tracks 2-4 were easily my favorite.

Lol I glimpsed your ratings expecting to strongly disagree but most of your 5s are top tier stuff. I guess we just don't see eye to eye on this
