At long last, I've finally reached the mark of obtaining 1,000 ratings: 838 soundoffs and 162 other releases that I heard where no shits were given in regards to SOs. While I've still not yet managed to jam a Tool album - and when I get to the point where I'm able to stomach all the pseudo-philosophy, I will - I did go out of my way to listen to these records over the past couple weeks, months, or so. Also feel free to rec me anything similar.
1 more til 500 for me. For 25 give Hoyouku a shot. I bought it on a whim because I could get a limited edition copy really cheap and I have to say it's the only album of theirs I've actually enjoyed.
