TheAccountant Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 7 hours ago, Segue Myles said: Their debut album came out in 1990. They are a unique band. They started out intense Doom metal, and by the late nineties embraced electropop. I recommend a middle album, One Second. Or the self titled from 2005. 1990? that may help to explain why I never heard of them. Once you get to the 1990's I drifted away from a lot of music because well, it drifted away from my tastes. Basically for me the 1990's and 2000's until now represented a dark age that is just starting to lift. Their were occasional ray's of light, and I am finding more than I was aware of, but unlike in the 1970's and 1980's they did not get a lot of regular airplay - at least not that I was aware of. So I am having to dig through Youtube to find these fragile becons of light. Given how you describe them I am not certain that would fall into my taste range but I will add them to my list to try. Thanks for the recomendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard Accident Of Birth or The Chemical Wedding from Dickinson? Those are as good as anything he's done since returning to Maiden. Resurrection? The live album - correct? Very good live show. A rare glimpse of light during the (IMO) musical darkness of the 1990's / 200's. But the music and lyrics I don't go wild for. But I agree with you - very good performance (assuming we are talking about the same album). As for the Bruce albums you mentioned, I don't believe so. I really enjoyed Tattooed Millionaire and then had another solo Bruce album but sold it as I was not impressed. Thanks for recommending these, I will try to check them out.

As great as he is in Maiden there's a different kind of greatness he taps into with his solo material. Thanks for recommending - another one to add it my list to try.

Often bonus tracks are not favoured as part of an album. Or the band just didn't have time to finish them by a deadline, or the band members dispute their worth, or the label says "no". People love to complain about bloated albums, then whine about bonus tracks to concise albums. Make it make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I get why songs are cut, others, really not. An example being Trivium- In Waves. The fact the "deluxe edition" actually incorporated the bonus tracks within the tracklist, rather than at the end, is proof the studio interfered. That's the only way to play that album.

Exactly, especially since the whole 14 tracks only add up to 63 minutes. It's about the same length as Firepower which didn't have any bonus tracks. It's obviously a cash grab tactic. I'll just buy the "deluxe" edition, call that the album and dismiss the "regular" edition as a big EP! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear to me that Taylor Swoft must have had arguments with her label last year, as Midnights had a specific number of songs, yet she released more than an albums worth straight to streaming.

Union 5-3992 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Steven Wilson is the only artist who releases bonus tracks that are exciting. Mostly because he sucks at curating what songs belong on his albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
