For about 3 weeks, I've had 5 black guys in suits staring me down, trying to lure me into listening to their doo-wop Album, motioning for me to press play and listen.
3 weeks.
I couldn't take it anymore. I made a vow not to listen to ANY Albums if they are on this list, until I go through them like I'm supposed to. But I really wasn't in the mood for ANOTHER compilation Shooby Doo-Wops. As I've said before, I really don't like compilation Albums, primarily because they are sooooooo long. This one was 2 hours and a half, not the longest, but still unpleasant to have to sit through.
When I start reviewing an Album, I look at the Album on the list, get all the information I can on the name of artist, name of album, release date, label, and most importantly, tracklist.
The hardest part is always the tracklist.
Usually, Albums have a wikipedia page dedicated to them. It's a pain in the ass when they don't, and I'm off on some bored out of my skull adventure to find song names, but it's even worse to find how long each song is.
When I finally find the tracklist, it's copy and past, remove any links attached to the songs, remove the formatting, number them off, quotations marks, and then length of song. It's a troubling process. This tracklist had everything in check: Except for song length. So, whenever a song played on, I'd quickly jot down how long it was, and then proceed to listen. This means I had to be on the ball for every song. Being this song is 2 and a half hours, and I have a fairly busy schedule, it's hard to fit in time for Albums.
I started this Album at 12 AM.
It is now 3 AM, and I wake up in 2 hours.
So, it's understandable to be pissed off at compilation Albums, or Albums that need editing. To rub it in, Rolling Stones used the wrong Album cover. Usually, I'd fix that, but you no what? I have this image of The Temptations burned into my skull now, so now my blog can, too. Suck it, Rolling Stones.
But of course, The Album Review.
I had a whole review planned out for this, but you know what? It's my 100th Album. I wrote lots already.
This album was good.
Done. See y'all next Album.
P.S. Somebody tell The Temptations that they sound like girls
