I just listened to that this morning.

Nice review toots. I feel like I have a pretty good impression of what the album is like, and a pretty good idea that I won't like it. What more could I ask for in a review?

I (don't) have to (but will) take issue with your usage in a couple of places, though. Noisome and bombast: I don't think these words mean what you think they mean.

i learned a new word in this thread.

toots · **Posted:** Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:21 pm

judging by the links you [haq] provided, i'd say i'm at least slightly correct on "noisome" and maybe possibly hit a foul ball on "bombast"

thanks for the usage check :wink:

I thought it was much more compelling than MGMT.

hehe... I mean I totally understand the word bombast, in its german meaning. I cross-checked it and came for two words I have never heard before: what about grandiloquence or maybe orotundity? the latter is awesome.

same ethereal soupiness, methinks, but MGMT is the only one i'd be humming later

HOOKS

i'm going to say the latter means an individual's relative fatness and just stick with that

well that's not true, at least not for the mgmt. and it's not soupy at all.

jsh · **Posted:** Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:49 pm

toots · **Posted:** Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:49 pm

compared to nice nice, mgmt does indeed have hooks

production-wise mgmt is soupy

what im trying to say is, fuck you both

berliner · **Joined:** Fri May 09, 2008 7:00 pm **Posts:** 1516
