    While I first heard Bust a Move probably around 2002 I was way too young to really appreciate it. I got reintroduced to their stuff when a friend threw on “The Pretender” in late 2016 and blew my mind. Since then I’ve favorited over 150 tracks off of 44 releases, which is absolutely insane as most of my other favorite artists top out at maybe 30 tracks. I was lucky enough to get to see them perform a DJ set in 2019 where I heard the first half of “Ani Mevushal” before it was released which was amazing. I would love to get the chance to see them again.

          Oh my glob, that’s such a fantastic album. It took me a while to warm up to it, mostly because I first heard it over my shitty pc speakers (I should have known better but I was too excited to hear their new stuff!), but once I heard it on my headphones I was blown away…

            It’s definitely a divisive one, most of my friends that enjoy the rest of their stuff are pretty meh on it but I can’t get enough of it. I definitely haven’t played any other album start to finish even half as much as that one.

              I don’t think there’s a whole album I can play start to finish, mostly because of the sensory issues, but the ones I’ve got most tracks from on my favourites are all newer albums…
              I tend to get hooked on the newer stuff for a while, guess it’s more fresh to the brain (even if it isn’t actually new, but just new to me, like this.

                I used to get sick listening to music with a lot of bass but thankfully after puberty my sensory issues are mostly limited to touch although there are some high pitched sounds that are agonizing but I attribute that more to tinnitus. I was totally unaware of that track you linked, I’m excited to give it a listen later when I’m in my car.

                  Yeah, it’s those high pitched noises for me (and sometimes other random noises like slurping sounds I think one track has)… Some tracks that climb up really high before the drop I can manage but on others it just hurts my ears too much…

                  Glad I could link you an unknown track, how exciting! Finding tracks I hadn’t heard before on their discography download has been so good…
                  Lets see if I can go 2 for 2 lol

                    I definitely know what you’re talking about. I think “She Zoramet” off of CV2 has a lot of guttural noises that are straight up funky and could definitely be abrasive for some. For me though it just works in a weird way. And you got me again — I do probably miss out on a good number of rare tracks simply by nature of doing most of my streaming through Spotify, because the whole family is on the plan making it super cheap for me.
