[quote author=“Ton”]This thread is not about intellect,
true, and there is actually and absolutely no need for this. when people start to deeply discuss for example lyrics or album background stories, i guess a separate thread should be opened. so my suggestion is simply to make this thread more informative and entertaining, otherwise it is just an assembly of useless words.
[quote author=“Ton”]this thread is about showing that you listen to more obscure stuff then anybody else. It’s an ego trip.
not at all, and sad to read that you only see negativity and that you imply that all posting people are the same. i can actually see a lot of positive potential in this thread when people start putting a few words behind it. why are they listening to this, what does the music mean to them, or simply share any lovely memories that you have with a certain track or album. i would be happy to get known to new groups and albums if the words arise my interest - but the group name and title alone is just meaningless.
for example, for me it has more to it when, let’s say, i am currently listening to an album by MÚM. what made me disocver them, why am i listening to and liking them ? for example, i could write that after listening to groups like The Album Leaf or Sigur Ros, i was looking for similar groups and thus found MÚM. indeed they were similar, with an equal melancholy .... or such ... no need to write a review….. just a bit of an information .... but do as you like.
