Segue Myles Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 2 hours ago, Mr. Not said: AKA the only two albums by them i really listen to it's a shame how quickly this band went downhill, but it's all simply due to a line-up change. why replace a female vocalist with a male? doesn't make sense to me, especially considering the guy who replaced Elisa doesn't have a close enough vocal range. i honestly had the misconception that the lead guitarist of the band took over lead vocals when she left, that's how mediocre it is :/ the songwriting for the following albums also shift, the softer songs lose all sense of mysticism without Elisa, and a lot of the more energetic songs slow down and become heavier instead, especially during the verses. the greatest strength of this band is Enrik's neoclassical guitar playing imo, but without the correct vox to compliment the compositions the entire band loses it's magic and falls apart. Never heard of them but the cover art suggests I'd love them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really matter how quickly a band went downhill when nobody knows who they are in the first place 😄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Blink-182 - Blink-182 I've only heard two of their records and a few singles off some of the others, but between this and Enema, the self-titled/untitled one is getting my vote every time. My favorite things about Enema tend to be the slightly more symphonic moments and the slightly more sincere lyrics, though it's a great record in its own right and shouldn't be changed. But this one... I did not think the guys who wrote Anthem had this in them, and I love that song. From what I've read Blink don't have another album like this, and though I do like their new reunion song, it's not indicative of them returning to this sound. Probably better off, I doubt they could top it. This sits in the same pantheon as Three Cheers, From Under The Cork Tree, Brand New Eyes, and Pretty Odd for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very solid album which grows every time I listen to it. I sometimes forget just how good a band Alter Bridge are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Alter Bridge- Pawns And Kings Not one song to skip for me. It's fourth on my list of AB albums, with Fortress, ABIII and The Last Hero jumping ahead. It needs time to settle before I decide if I love it more than TLH, it's looking likely, but at the moment it still has that delightful "new album" appeal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Posthumous solo album from singer from Big Big Train. Beautiful but bittersweet given the tragic circumstances of his death. I am enjoying this album a lot. Released when UFO were at the pinnacle of their success. Glory days! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
