I'm going to send my links out when I get home on Wednesday. Bitches.

 

[AtomicBono]

I have the feeling I'll throw my Stats book at the wall in disgust and let out a big "UNNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHH" in your honor.
.

eww, stats? I might have to take that, if I choose to major in Psychology. Good luck doing your homework with my playlist on

PM me your list and I'll give it a listen after the tourist's, ElMel's, and bono_212's.

GAF could you PM me yours too? I'd love to hear it and I'm too lazy to dig up the links/don't know if they've been removed

[Zoots]

........in Sexy Boots?

Your title should be:

"These Sexy Boots Are Made For Winning Desert Island V"

Damn you! I have already chosen a similar title!

 

[the tourist]

I'm listening to LM's list. I'm a bit confused. It's supposed to rock, isn't it?

 

[the tourist]

Sure, it starts off rocking. But then it's a mixed bag once Supermassive Black Hole begins, as that song's pretty r&b with pop elements. And then with the Blur ballad, Tom Waits, the dancy Cake...? I'm not feeling the Supermassive Black Cherub Metal as a concept. I mean, the songs are good, but this isn't very consistantly "rocking".

 

[the tourist]

Marquee Moon is a good song.

 

[the tourist]

I like the second disc of LM's quite a lot better than the first. The transitions are all wonderful (except perhaps "#9 Dream" into "In the Morning of the Magicians").

 

[the tourist]

And this Beck song is positively frightening.

 

[the tourist]

Good ending for the concept.

 

[Zoots]

Oh hi tourist, tourist and tourist! How you guys doing?

 

[the tourist]

Well it is a running diary thread. So when L-Mel gets around to it, he can read my comments while I was listening.

 

[the tourist]

But I'm doing well, thanks! Do you have your links available? Wanna trade?

 

[Zoots]

I will download ElMel's tonight... and need to upload mine.

 

[the tourist]

Anyway, to El-Mel, my final grade for you goes like this:

First disc--flow=B; songs=C+; total=B-
Second disc--flow=A; songs=B; total=A-

So in total, I give you a high B/low B+

That's fair. Even I would probably give it about a high B+/low A- or so. But, of course, I definitely liked the first disc more than you do.

And there is no concept for the first disc. It's just a fun set of songs that are far heavier and more guitar-oriented than anything I've used so far. The second disc is the only one you should have to think about.

 

[the tourist]

Yeah. I was into the first half of the first disc waaaaaay more than the second half.

 

[the tourist]

Anyway, I realized there was no concept on the first disc. I was just really let down with how not rocking the second half of it was.

Personally, I would have gotten bored with it if it was all like the first half. That's just me, but IMO it needed a little variety to sustain people's attention, and the transitions are mostly really good. If you don't like the songs, that's perfectly fine, I just don't want people to get their expectations focused too much in one area. The point is that, for once, there is no point. It's just a set of songs I liked that represents a fun respite from the darker, more cerebral second disc.

Well, I did love the second disc. I dunno. I think it might've been better if maybe you'd split up the first disc into two halves. If I can wrap my head around thinking about it that way, your grade would go up. Maybe I'll bump you up to a solid B+.

 

[LemonMelon]

LM, your list ruled. I think we can officially say that your boots are sexy.

Glad you liked it. It sounds like you got something out of both discs, which is obviously the ideal.

Now I need to listen to AB's list next. This should be cool.

I can definitely live with a B+, thanks. Ashley gave me an A for flow, B for songs, and the other Musketeers both gave me an A-, so at least it's easy to make a consensus.

I dunno, I never expected everyone to love this set as much as my last one, but I figured everyone would at least like it. I mean, if you love one disc and are meh on the other, that's something, right? Yeah, I prefer the second disc as well, but there's something about the first one that I really enjoy now...sorry you were a little disappointed by the second half, but I feel that it flows into it really well, at least.

 

[the tourist]

Yeah, it does flow well into. This all said, I liked your DI IV list a bit better, but I like the second disc of this one better than your DI IV list. If that makes sense.

 

[the tourist]

And speaking of flow, I'm proud of my flow this time around, too.

 

[Zoots]

Btw El Mel, I haven't listened to it yet but... just glancing at it, Elastica into Muse was brilliant!

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, it does flow well into. This all said, I liked your DI IV list a bit better, but I like the second disc of this one better than your DI IV list. If that makes sense.

I actually feel the same way. I wish there was a way to make that second disc 2+ hours, but that may have been too much of a good thing. Or, for some people, too much of a very dull thing. Believe me, if I could have stretched it out, I would have, but I think it's fine just the way it is, and with that much more fun first disc, there's something for everyone. I have no regrets.

And speaking of flow, I'm proud of my flow this time around, too.

Yeah, LMP said you did a really good job with that, and I like a lot of the songs you picked. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing this.

 

[LemonMelon]

Haha, judging by your taste, I think you'll love the first disc. Not sure about the second. Surprise me.
