dmathias52: Review a Random Album Game: 2020 Q1 Edition

dmathias52 04.07.20	I always really enjoy those and now seems as good a time as any! Planning on leaving this open for recs until the weekend, so let's say closed up at 5:00pm on Friday. Would folks prefer that I match people up based on their listening habits or just make this truly random? My red is Burst by Snarls, which is some really good dreamy indie rock
SlothcoreSam 04.07.20	I will give it a shot. Hotel Mira- Perfectionism. It is radio friendly Indie Rock, with some killer singles, and it is a heap of fun!
MiloRuggles 04.07.20	Voting for truly random Denzel Curry-13lood 1n + 13lood Out Mixx
botulist 04.08.20	shabaka and the ancestors - we are sent here by history
oltnabrick 04.08.20	Sematary - Rainbow Bridge 2
JohnnyoftheWell 04.08.20	Nooo these are even more fun when geared archivally :O anyhow, am in the mood for writing random Gezan - 狂(KLUE) (as placeholder; might swap something else in ;])
dmathias52 04.08.20	I thought about doing that Johnny, but it seems like someone normally takes that on and does probably a better job with it (aka you normally lol)
JohnnyoftheWell 04.08.20	Hehe I'll think about a follow-up in a few months then ;]
dedex 04.08.20	Today Is the Day - No Good to Anyone
bloodshy 04.08.20	Evangelicals - The Evening Descends
Aberf 04.08.20	Serph - Mirapyd Some weird IDM, idk. https://open.spotify.com/album/6ry1xWO7rLTdSA3tYDCvRP?si=5LyRmCu8SoqqnLsd_9u7QA
Winesburgohio 04.08.20	Graham Lambkin - Salmon Run
tyman128 04.08.20	Yves Tumor - Heaven to a Tortured Mind
Aberf 04.08.20	excited for this, when's the deadline for submissions?
dmathias52 04.08.20	I'm gonna give until tomorrow evening (5:00 central) and hopefuly have albums out at that point!
dmathias52 04.08.20	List updated! Couple of albums that weren't from 2020, so I'll shoutbox those folks later to see if they want to nominated something else
Aberf 04.08.20	The rules don't Apply to me cuz I can't read!!!
Gnocchi 04.08.20	Mourir - Animal Bouffe Animal I'll play - I was discussing doing something similar (but way more convoluted) to help with people's covid holiday spare time.
bloodshy 04.09.20	Oh shit, I nominated an old album because the sun was in my eyes, and the wind took it. Can I nominate Errance - Fracture instead?
Winesburgohio 04.09.20	i said graham lambkin dammit
joshuahuntkc 04.09.20	Andy Shauf The Neon Skyline
dmathias52 04.09.20	Updated! Aberf and Wines I guess I can really include yours if you want lol. Your call I suppose! I'm a benevolent gamemaster that avoids conflict
Aberf 04.09.20	hopefully, I don't get wines' rec again cuz the last time I did, I couldn't figure out how to review it.
Winesburgohio 04.10.20	oh it's 2020 sorry!!! Arthur Russell - Roulette
JohnnyoftheWell 04.10.20	"hopefully, I don't get wines' rec again cuz the last time I did, I couldn't figure out how to review it" Lol that's the best part of these games
Aberf 04.10.20	I mean, it was like trying to review a recipe from outer space. I can't comprehend the taste or recreate it cuz the ingredients are too far out there.
dedex 04.11.20	when when when?
bloodshy 04.11.20	👀 👃 👅
dmathias52 04.11.20	Oh damn really soon folks! Be out by noon! Days of the week have lost all meaning in quarantine lol. I’m just gonna go straight random!
JohnnyoftheWell 04.11.20	Lmao relatable content. Cmon Sput, y'all have the time to join this!!
dmathias52 04.11.20	Giving this one last bump before I make the matchups in an hour!
dmathias52 04.11.20	The randomizer was not kind to anybody - I think we're all gonna be slightly outside of our comfort zone, to say the least! But that's half the fun of these How about we try and give ten days? So do your best to get your reviews up by Tuesday, April 21st! Check back in here with a link to the review when you finish up. Happy listening everybody!
JohnnyoftheWell 04.11.20	A 35 yr old live album by a long since deceased experimental pop cellist with whose body of work I'm appatently in dire need of familiarisation? Game on! Sam seems like a good fit for mine, stoked to see how that goes
SlothcoreSam 04.11.20	Oh yeah, excited about that Johnny. Will have a first listen today on my ride
dedex 04.11.20	French black metal? GAME ON
Aberf 04.11.20	The turns have tabled, Wines. Now you get my rec.
bloodshy 04.11.20	wow, dmathias, i dont see anything remotely similar to errance in your ratings. good luck dude. now excuse me while i try to figure out if sematary is a comedy/joke artist, or if it's serious. can't tell yet.
SlothcoreSam 04.11.20	Gezan is so fucking good, no idea how I'm going to review it though, there is so much happening.
Aberf 04.11.20	@blood well, all I can say is good luck fam. Maybe you aren't too far deep in the musical depravity to enjoy Sematary lul.
oltnabrick 04.12.20	-___-
Gnocchi 04.12.20	Jazz? Okay then ha
madrigal30 04.12.20	i feel like that new All Time Low album needs 3 paragraphs deconstructing its need to exist please give me something fun
bloodshy 04.12.20	i think i've got this https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81165/Sematary-Rainbow-Bridge-2/
joshuahuntkc 04.12.20	good with mine, been listening to it the last couple days anyways
botulist 04.12.20	will have mine up in a day or two.
combustion07 04.12.20	I nominate CW Da Youngblood & Wil Kid- K.C.F.L. it's a rap album from this year and can be found on all the streaming platforms. This seems fun and I haven't reviewed in a loooong time
JohnnyoftheWell 04.14.20	done! tricky tricky stuff, good fun though https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81187/Arthur-Russell-Roulette/
MiloRuggles 04.14.20	Shhhiiieeetttt, I've been having tech problems out the ass, so mine might be a little late coming + I've had no time to read any so far! Promise I won't let you down dedexxxx

Gnocchi 04.14.20	Mine's coming later today.

dmathias52 04.15.20	Hey y'all, I've been MIA a bit, but updating now! Thanks for all of the participation folks, excited to read through everything! @Madrigal and combustion Are you guys cool taking each other's recs? And Madrigal is All Time Low actually your rec, I don't want to subject poor combustion to that unless we really have to (and I actually some enjoyed that album lol)
joshuahuntkc 04.16.20	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81209/Yves-Tumor-Heaven-To-A-Tortured-Mind/
madrigal30 04.16.20	yes it is actually my rec, and i'm cool to take combustion's
dmathias52 04.16.20	Cool! You take Combustion's, I'll check with him about ATL, if he doesn't review it, I'll do it after I do my original
tyman128 04.16.20	review is finally up! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81210/Snarls-Burst/
anat 04.16.20	I nominate Sam Lee - Old Wow
madrigal30 04.16.20	ok dmath im on it :)
Aberf 04.16.20	I will never forgive the RNG for giving me such a record to review.
dedex 04.17.20	hello this is my review https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81218/Mourir-Animal-Bouffe-Animal/
bloodshy 04.17.20	nice. i love that we do these. one of the main reasons i do reviews is to showcase albums that might otherwise be overlooked. hopefully i notice the next time we do one.
dmathias52 04.18.20	About to jump into my album - Don't think I've ever listened to a full death metal album and I've for sure never finished one. So let's see how we do!
bloodshy 04.19.20	it feels more black metal to me
dmathias52 04.19.20	I'm gonna have to figure out the difference between black metal and death metal lol. Though I have to say - I'm loving this. The atmosphere it's creating is fascinating
Bedex 04.19.20	I'm getting on the Q2 round for this
dmathias52 04.19.20	Holy shit yeah that Errance was really good and I have absolutely no idea how to write about it
Bedex 04.19.20	also 13 is completed!
tyman128 04.19.20	and 4
dmathias52 04.19.20	Right! About to update! Also planning on reading everyone’s reviews tonight
bloodshy 04.19.20	if you aren't sure what to do, write more about your experience with it and how it made you feel? what you were thinking?
dmathias52 04.21.20	Ok, working on my review now! Definitely the most challenging process I've had while writing, which is incredibly fun and why I love these types of games. Thanks for the rec bloodshy!
Aberf 04.21.20	How to bash an album without sounding like ranting.
dmathias52 04.21.20	Ohh boy. Excited to see what happens there lol
dmathias52 04.21.20	Ok, after struggling over that review for like three days, it's finished! Thanks for the review idea to bloodshy, tried to incorporate my personal feelings while writing and it was pretty fun
bloodshy 04.22.20	I read it aloud to my room mate while carpooling home. She was very impressed, and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
Aberf 04.24.20	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81282/Hotel-Mira-Perfectionism/
Aberf 04.24.20	I found it difficult to write about the music when I got distracted by the lyrics and vocal delivery so much. So I just wrote entirely about how it makes me feel.
MiloRuggles 04.24.20	Nice and succinct, I like it. Makes me feel better about my incoming review, as after one listen I have significant problems with it haha
bloodshy 04.24.20	mine was pretty brutal too. i started out positive, but couldn't find any positives to list
bloodshy 04.24.20	i really loved yves tumor and mourir. hotel mira is pretty good so far, but not the winner for me.
Aberf 04.24.20	Bloodshy and I have an inverted music taste as I enjoyed sematary quite a bit lol.
bloodshy 04.24.20	lmao aberf, we can be nemesis bros
MiloRuggles 05.07.20	ayy I found this thing again. apologies for the slow turnaround team https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81377/Today-Is-the-Day-No-Good-To-Anyone/
Mort. 02.03.23	guys when was the last time we did one of these?
JohnnyoftheWell 02.03.23	probably long enough ago - these things always need a good reset period forgot about writing on 16 - yikes that was a stringently prompted moment of character dev, thanks papawines
Mort. 02.03.23	well i cant find one for 2021 or 2022 so yeah seems like its time to revive it ill do it if i can be fucked
JohnnyoftheWell 02.03.23	mort do it
Mort. 02.03.23	ok ill do it now!
