Addendum to Review: Twin Shadow - Confess

Usually after posting a review I change my Spotify song to my favorite track off the album. However, this time I am doing things a bit differently. Twin Shadow's Confess made me feel like dancing so much that I decided to post the song I enjoy dancing to the most, LCD Soundsystesm "All My Friends"
*Now this is not public dancing and this writing is the only evidence that such a thing occurs.

Also how about those 80s, I mean seriously. Things were so much simpler back then. I mean take the film Teen Wolf staring Michael J. Fox. As the title suggest, Mr. Fox is a teenage werewolf who makes his first change in the middle of a basketball game. Now at first the crowd is aghast but soon they begin clapping and of course they win the game they were losing and make it all the way to the finals where  the teen wolf has to decide to be himself or the wolf and chooses to be himself in a game against his arch nemesis with perfect hair and wins the games and there is a girl who is his best friend and he has never looked at her romantically...and well you get the point. But back to the initial change into a werewolf. In 1985, a teenager could change into a werewolf without being chased out of town with flaming pitchforks. The good old days indeed.


Now a final note on the reviews and rating.
I will more than likely never give a new album a 5 regardless of how much I hyperbolize my enjoyment, in the same token I doubt I will ever give an album a 0. If I ever do it will be a quite short review because it would mean I could not make it through the record. A 5 album is one that stands the test of time and considering I review recent material I can not guess what I will think of it in say a year or more. The word classic is thrown around far too flippantly (in particular when discussing rap music with people on the internet), everything is a classic; a true classic is an album that stands the test of time and attention span. Classics take time. At some point I will begin Vault reviews where I listen to and review older albums; a few of them may get 5s.

I rate each album with a series of beards, mustaches and the dreaded goatee (seriously if you have a goatee just go ahead and grow a beard).
Beards = 1 pt.
Mustaches = .5 pt.
Goatee = 0

So a 1.5 would be 1 beard and 1 mustache.
