Now -- what are you listening to? V2

Nice! How are you liking it? I know a lot of people aren't too into it, but I think it's fantastic. It might be more simplistic, but the post-metal elements and emotional weight make it a really good record in my eyes (or ears, I guess) 

But Basses Loaded is pretty great. I can recommend a purchase:

 

The opening track "The Decay of Lying" is a bit of a gem to my ears. They played it live when I saw Melvins last month too, and it was even greater then

I've written my Reviewer's Challenge review already, but one final spin before posting is in order I think.

Finally started my review. I can already tell it's going to be something special, considering I'm four paragraphs, over 600 words in, and still haven't even begun what I know will be a massive song by song section. This probably is going to be my longest review ever, as it should be, since it's my favorite album I've ever reviewed (to review my favorite album of all would probably turn into a novel, or something.)

Just finished my first draft, and since I'm not known to cut much if anything out during editing, its current word count should be close to the final total: 2429! About what I expected, tbh, and it is in fact my longest by nearly 500 words. I obviously did ramble on a lot, but I don't think I was ever going to write a concise review for this album anyway, so I decided I may as well just go all out and fully indulge myself, for this special occasion. At the very least, it gives me an excuse to keep shortening up my newer reviews, because I can probably never outdo this one in length, unless I do one day review The Human Equation. God, I can't even begin to imagine how long that review would be. It probably wouldn't be publishable, tbh.
