A Running Tally, Phaze IV: 2014

2014年 Feb 8日 Saturday, 19:39

For this edition, rather than a point system, I shall employ a new system that is intended simply to give a general impression of the quality of a release.
If a release isn't rated yet, it just means I put it in the list so as not to forget to listen to and rate it later ;-)
Obviously these ratings are coloured by personal taste, so, you know, chill out if I say something you like is the musical equivalent of horse manure.

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e152/Bromadrosis/canstock3951364_zps39f00835.jpg?t=1391903253 http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e152/Bromadrosis/canstock3951364_zps39f00835.jpg?t=1391903253 = Good to very good, recommended to all fans of parent genre (e.g. rock, metal, jazz, blues, etc.)
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e152/Bromadrosis/canstock3951364_zps39f00835.jpg?t=1391903253 = Non-essential, but will likely appeal to fans of the band or specific subgenre (e.g. black metal, jazz fusion, etc.)

Throw the record away and punch the artist in the junk!
