Are they all shit? Bet they’re all shit.

I really like sworn virgins, the rest are a mixed bag, some are shit aye.

I liked some of Weekly Mansions, when it was being industrial electro pop. Zapopan was ok in parts too. it was more like the more focussed of the guitar stuff he was doing ten years ago.

Think Kool AD still has Omar beat for sheer quantity of music released this year - 8 mixtapes/albums so far, 2 of which have contained 100 tracks.

here’s a quietus write-up on the first 6. quite a good read.

These are all on Spotify now.

They have been at each release, haven’t they?

think i gave on after no. 12. you win omar, you have finally exhausted me.

I think it’s too many albums.

you might be right

Put that might out of sight; I am right.

in competition with Buckethead,

Think I only ever heard the first 7. I bought the 4th one (?), though. I really enjoy that.

Has anyone kept up with this? He’s still going. It’s just too many albums.

Gave up after about two.

Gave up after about 7

Just listened to the preorder track for the new one. Dreadful.

Are any of these worth it? Can’t imagine there’s been much quality control if he’s firing out an album every 15 minutes

I quite like the first one Sworn Virgins. Theyre albums he’s made over the last 5 or more years so arent just tossed off every two weeks… but some are pretty shite.

I really liked Arañas en La Sombra and bought that one. Better than the new ATD-I I guess, although worse recorded etc.

Anyway, just decided to dip into his stuff again and am now listening to Birth of a Ghost.

Err… This is nice but all orchestral, so entirely unexpected!
