Segue Myles Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Type O Negative Bloody Kisses (9/10) where has this band been al my life.........like a weird blend of the Doors, Beatles, some metallica and weirdly 10cc (their "offensive" humour is similar to Godley and Creme era 10cc) brilliant album. Mick If Dracula could sing, he would sound like Peter Steele. I got into Type O back in 1993 when I saw them and King's X open for Motley Crue. This was around the time Bloody Kisses was released. My friend and I left the show being more impressed with them than anything else. And yes, that lineup was one of the most f***ed up, mismatched, one of these things is not like the others concert I have ever been to. I would certainly give October Rust a listen and World Coming Down as well. Warning about World Coming Down, it's the darkest, bleakest and most depressing album from them. You may have to be in the right mood to listen to it. Man, did that Peter Steele hate himself. World Coming Down is an absolute masterpiece and I honestly think it's both my favourite and the album I listen too the least, because it's just so depressing. I love the humour and the sincerity of their early albums, but I love the second half of their discography just as much. All killer, no filler. Just listened through Dead Again while working out Gotta say, this is my favorite for a lot of reasons, but it's definitely remaining my #1 -- and sort of for the opposite reason you consider World Coming Down Dead Again's upbeat and motivational while not overlooking the darker side of all the issues presented - heartbreak, drug abuse, falling out with family/friends, etc. really a one of a kind album. Tripping A Blind Man's one of my favorite songs for sure This is how you spend lifeAmused by another's strifeMakes me so sadAnd confusedSomeone's pain, your leisureCan't explain sick pleasureI'm so glad I'm not youPatience is divineBut the virtue is not mineTurn you cheek gets ripped offThat's why we're given fourThrowing wrenches gave a false sense of powerWhat started sweet will soonTurn sour, oh so sour, yeahYou think it's your place to dispense justiceWell I've been sent to judge the judgesYou're done wellSo wellShe Burned me Down: Pissed and disappointed I prey to learn to forgiveIf I can't find it in my heart then I have no reason to liveHere is an education - the lesson professed is quite cruelThere are some things worse the death and one of them is you And those are just two examples of course. Their early stuff never really had this sort of maturity going for it until October Rust.. In an interview Peter said that since they started the band as older guys (they were all in their early 30s at its inception) their lyrics weren't typical of rock music, since they saw the world differently than younger guys. This became truer as time went on, and is why I really admire the pseudo-priesthood of the older near-death Peter Steele on Dead Again.This was a perfect song to end their legacy with, imo: This is a phenomenal album, so yes love your post! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Blind Guardian- At The Edge Of Time (9/10) I see some hate for this album but I have to say I think it's practically perfect! Reminds me of Sonata Arctica's The Days Of Grays in its production (that album is a year older), and the fantasy nerdathon of the lyrics is perfect for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT....dudes putting in WORK on this album......i really focus in on it. dudes doing some funk lines and licks. to the point where......who knows if it's all him, lol Mick Yeah I think the reason Roger never gets much praise for his bass work is the fact that Gilmore is known to have recorded certain bass parts in the studio, but not how many or how often. Roger I think viewed himself as more of a director, and a concept driver, than a technician. Figures since he dropped out of architecture school, lol. Arkie school is where you get all the idealism behind the profession, but post graduation is when you really start seeing the practical technical side of things, which I’m betting Roger took one look at and said “NOPE!” But, yes, Animals is fantastic, easily my favorite from Floyd, and the bass work throughout sets the tone for all of the color on top of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Twenty One Pilots - Twenty One Pilots (first real listen, really good! Really Musey actually, but you can hear all sorts of influences plain as day as well, but still great songs and a very unique approach even when ripping certain ideas straight from other bands) Rush - Presto (still way better than RTB) Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes (tried paying more attention to lyrics, since the music seem to serve the story often with this band, interesting stuff) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Frusciante was exactly what they needed. What were your thoughts on The Getaway?I think I liked it more than I'm With You, but I didn't love every song like I do with several of their other records. Dark Necessities, We Turn Red Goodbye Angels, Detroit, and This Ticonderoga were my favorites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
