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

#26

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

#27

I think it’s too many albums.

#28

you might be right

#29

Put that might out of sight; I am right.

#30

in competition with Buckethead,

#31

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

#32

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

#33

Gave up after about two.

#34

Gave up after about 7

#35

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

#36

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

#37

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.

#38

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!

#39

Is he a bit like Shakespeare because you have to pretend to enjoy it or everyone thinks you’re a dunce?

#40

I don’t think so. The albums are all really different though. Some are absolute dogshit and some really quite enjoyable. Maybe you just picked a bunch that were dogshit. See what you think of the Birth of a Ghost one?

#41

much more like if you do enjoy it people assume you’re a stoner who will listen to any guitar noodly bollocks

#42

I’ll probably need to listen to ATDI first lol

#43

Well maybe. I’m not sure that’s required but you probably do have to have a bit of an interest in post-hardcore sort of guitar music. I’m not sure it’s remotely intellectual to enjoy that, though.

#44
