I like Drukqs as it is, but has anyone removed tracks and cut it down to less than an hour to make it sound like a masterpiece

I'm fine with the score but the actual review is hilarious.

>If you wanna take the psychoanalytic bent, both have masculinity issues: Prog compensates with double kick drums and the phallic gratification of rabid shrrredding, while indie prefers to spin its shortcomings into anti-heroism.

I dont even need to see a picture of Sam Ubl. I bet he has dyed hair, a septum piercing and large frame glasses

You would need to delete Lost in the World, Devil in a new dress and Gorgeous too.
>>
>>70526631

Lost in the World is fucking great. And if you delete that one, then keeping the final track wouldn't make sense
>>
>>70526652
Which would be grounds for giving the album a less than 10 rating.
>>
>>70525735
Yikes. That album isn't great, but it sure as hell isnt a two
>>
>>70526197
Wait how the fuck

I get that it was the mid 2000s and it was trendy to hate popular albums but this record is legitimately pretty great. It's catchy, it's pretty original, and it's extraordinarily well written. Fuck pitchfork
>>
>>70526367
Tru, for everyone that album is either like an 11 or a 2, how can you give it an 8.4?

Sure, their fanbase sucks and their lyrics can be somehwat pretentious, but their music is generally well-crafted.

All the time, because their reviews focus on context and not music
>>
>>70528885
This. They spend the majority of each review comparing a bands' newest album to their debut.
