[rasooli]

He isn't taking anymore requests for the time being because there are 10 reviews on queue.

[guedita]

Yeah because all of you assholes were so quick to jump at the bit and none of you know how to slowly let this develop into something actually worthwhile.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Nobody appreciates the journey any more.

Orbital - Wonky

Wonky is far from being wonky because it actually is a pretty good album. I don't have much a background with edm or Orbital but to me this is some fun music. I feel like I am listening to the score of a video game, but at the same time I want to get down with my bad self. Good beats and the album flows together well. I really like Straight Sun because it gives off sexy vibes, but I think every song could be danced to. Wonky is definitely stronger than most electronic music released today that I have heard .

My rating: 8

I don't often listen to EDM, but when I do, it's from a place of authority.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I don't often listen to EDM, but when I do, it's from a place of authority.

To be fair, if he doesn't listen to much EDM his only exposure to is is probably things like David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia, so even though it's a hyperbolic statement, I get where he's coming from. Sometimes all someone needs to get into a genre they're uncomfortable with is a few good suggestions, so this thread just might make a fan out of theklein25.

[SoulDischarge]

A simple bit of re-phrasing would help exponentially. "Wonky is definitely stronger than most high profile commercial EDM I've heard lately." Instead of "I don't really know much about this genre, but this is better than almost all of it."

[SoulDischarge]

Besides I thought this was a thread about making fun of people. Do we get to have those any more? Or does our collective conscience have to killjoy everything?

[guedita]

Seriously. This thread is devolving into a bunch of wet blankets defending theklein's inability to articulate.

[PotVsKtl]

Maybe someone can start an advice column about it. I mean thread. Or board. Maybe an advice board. Advice for your shitty life. It's a comedy wunderland.

He's much more of a sport than i would have given him credit for.

[theklein25]

Reading it now the last line sounds hypocritical, but I also wrote it on 4 hours of sleep so fuck it

[Neighborhood Creep]

theklein25: No longer an EDM rookie

[rasooli]

Although I would give the album a 10, I thought that was a strong review. The way I see it, Daft Punk is the god of edm, while Orbital is the king of edm.

[guedita]

Shut the fucking fuck up.

[cutterbutter]

Wonky < other Orbital releases

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Wonky < other Orbital releases

I think it's a much stronger, cohesive work than The Altogether

Kriss Kross - Totally Krossed Out
I think the title of this record explains it all because after I was finished with this album I was exhausted. It felt like they said their duo name and record name in each song which became repetitive. However for some young teenagers they were at least somewhat talented and had some catchy beats. I definitely think they are over rated though.

My rating: 4

[Neighborhood Creep]

I definitely think they are over rated though.

Who said they were good in the first place to make you think they're over rated?

[Ray del Mundo]

Who said they were good in the first place to make you think they're over rated?

This was my question too.

When suggestions are open again, someone should suggest Fever Ray. Or, I guess, Sugar Ray, but that wouldn't be quite as good.

[clumsy342]

I've ALWAYS said Kriss Kross were way overrated. lol

[xuclarockerx]

Ein kleiner Mensch stirbt nur zum Schein
wollte ganz alleine sein
das kleine Herz stand still für Stunden
so hat man es für tot befunden
es wird verscharrt in nassem Sand
mit einer Spieluhr in der Hand

[guedita]

He's not saying that they're overrated, he's saying that they are over (space) rated.

Please review Crazy Town - The Gift Of Game. You do not have to assign a spirit animal to this album.

[amyzzz]

To be fair, Sigur Ros begs to be given a spirit animal. Jacob told me when he first heard them they sounded like the sad lament of a lonely penguin. (sorry if a day late on this)

[Ray del Mundo]

Please review Crazy Town - The Gift Of Game. You do not have to assign a spirit animal to this album.

But clearly, were he to assign a spirit animal, it'd be a butterfly. Amirite?

[SoulDischarge]

On first blush, that seems like the right answer. But that's merely what they desire. The spirit of the band itself is an entirely different thing. They're more like a sensual panther who doesn't play by anyone's rules but its own, and has really bitchin' facial piercings.
