I hate this fucking nonsense:

* "Rae becomes haunting and cold, like a child left
                             home alone on Christmas. Tear-shaped chord
swells and a faint drawbar organ finish out the piece. This song is a close
                             cousin to "Krib"; its primary emotion is
wistful aloneness. "

* [garbage ep] "Played at high volume, it sounds like the end of the
                             world; a vast funeral for the soldiers of
another galaxy; a ceaseless, wailing alien rendition of Taps. "

* [tri repetae] "Stud: it begins with a pure
                             supersonic oscillation, a drumbeat only dogs
can hear; it ends in a wash of outerspace feedback, like solar rain. It evokes
                             vastness, solitude, wandering. The album
concludes in a similar storm. "

* "The soaring climax brings a storm of percussive clicks and clanks; it
sounds like a million glass
                             marbles colliding in a hurricane. The coda
fades away into childlike xylophones, playing tranquilly like the melodies
at the
                             end of Pule. Drane2 is an aria, a grand and
mysterious anthem. "

does this drivel actually attract anyone? why must people try so hard to
sound so intelligent and come off incredibly phony?

i dunno.

this bothers me.
