Well it's definitely not as good s the previous two. Not terrible by any means, but it doesn't fully make up for what it lacks with its CD era bloat.

Oh yeah not as good as the previous two, but it gets close to them, and I dont say that lightly. Yeah Fade In-Out and like Man Its Getting Better couldve been shorter but It's good good music and I honestly really don't care about length that much on this album.

Oh Fade In-Out is actually like my favorite song on there.

[Segue Myles]

Megadeth- Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? 

 

MASTERPIECE

 

I always forget how f***ing awesome this band is. The best of the Big Four

 

[Segue Myles]

Rush- Clockwork Angels 

 

Something I really want to say about this album, I have always felt it carries through musically in a way that feels like an ongoing stream of consciousness. It's a beautiful album that the more time passes, the more I appreciate it. It doesn't feel like a collection of songs, more like on long piece of music. It's grandiose and cinematic, and at times I can forget what I'm listening to and think it's a movie if I shut my eyes.

 

A stunning album, ten years on, I think I love it more than ever.

Machine Head-Catharsis (7/10)

 

OK.........soooooo.....Segue was talking Guilty pleasure  albums by MH......this is fukking mine.  I understand this band was kinda dying during this but i think is great in it's own way.

 

i'll get the negatives done first.  YES i get it.  Robb again goes dumb with the goofystuff.

 

California Bleeding

Triple Beam

Kaleidoscope

Razorblade Smile

Pshychotic

Volatile (though i like it)

 

HOWEVER we have

 

Catharsis (LOVE)

Beyond the pale

Bastards (this is fun and OTT sentimental i love it screw you)

Hope Begats hope

Behind A Mask

Heavy lies The Crown (fantastic song!!!!)

Eulogy (The reprise of a more somber Bastards was so smart here)

 

if you think an album with THESE songs is totally terrible........your lowkey should be committed, lol

 

I stand with Catharsis.  the little Bastard of the canon indeed.

See this album is divisive. I LOVE TRIPLE BEAM

Mastodon- Hushed And Grim 

 

This is easily the greatest metal album of 2021.

Machine Head-Of Kingdom and Crown (8/10)

 

On my 4th play.  And after the uneven plain wackiness of Catharsis this a return to harder MH.  though the production is a bit clynical and oddly polished (a fact i picked up on this listen.)

 

it is a concept album just basically about a dude who loses his girlfriend and just murders everyone (MH writing about war.........NOOOOOOOO, lol)

 

Some really great classic MH goodness in here.

 

Slaughter The Martyr (though a tad long)

Become The Firestorm (love this very crushing.  very Speed Metal!!)

My Hands are empty

Unhallowed (maybe my fav)

No Gods no Masters (Catchy great song.  though a little to Imagine dragons-y on the hook.......WHOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! that millennial whoop-age, lol

Bloodshot

Arrows in the Heart From the Sky (beautiful closer)

 

i think i like a few albums over this but great return to Classic period MG.

i honestly wasn't thrilled with how clynical the production was on the new one.

 

maybe that was the point?  who knows but it jumped out at me like a sour thumb this spin.

 

some great songs here though,

Rush- Moving Pictures 

 

Played this twice in a row. I used to rate albums out of 10 all the time. In the end I stopped, realising I'm just a bit too passionate about music I love and just gave too many perfect scores out. The reason I saw a flaw in that system? Because albums like this really, truly are beyond perfection, and are infinitely far greater than many of my personal favourites.

 

It seems cliche to call this the greatest Rush album. But it was my first, and I think it's still my favourite. It's also my most played alongside Roll The Bones 😂
