goose Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 VH - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge IMO, the best Hagar era album. Set aside Sammy's goofier lyrics and it's top notch beginning to end. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 ^^^ Nice 4-album run! Which one is tops? I think "Rubber Soul" is the best of the four, but "Magical Mystery Tour" is my favourite of the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 VH - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge IMO, the best Hagar era album. Set aside Sammy's goofier lyrics and it's top notch beginning to end. Yep, that and 5150 are the two solid ones musically speaking for the era especially some heavier than usual riffs on Judgement Day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Mastodon- Hushed And Grim (10/10) I'm going through a bit of a Mastodon renaissance at the moment. Loved them to death in my teens, but like Maiden, Trivium and Paradise Lost, for a while I was turned off them and they became, for me, a bit of an afterthought in my memories. But like those above bands, tastes have come full circle and they are once again a major part of my music listening (coincidentally, around the same time as Avenged Sevenfold, who I also forgot about). At 31, my most played bands at the moment look remarkably similar to those of my teens. I could still be 14, judging my music listening: MastodonBiffy ClyroTriviumAvenged SevenfoldParadise LostIron MaidenThe KillersKillswitch Engage The new Mastodon album is beautiful. I have seen a few negative reviews, which is fair, but overall for me this might be their best work since Crack The Skye. Two discs of beautiful music. Not just "metal", but "music". Even though I didn't really like their last album, Emperor Of Sand, and the two albums prior to that took me YEARS to come around too, I can confidently say I am once again a full fledged Mastodon fan. Every song on this album is terrific, I can see some fans liking some more than others, and yes I have my favourite songs and least favourite, but overall this is the Mastodon I love and admire so much. The best album by them in a long, long time. Also, the cover art is BEAUTIFUL! Fun Fact! No Mastodon, and I likely never would have given Rush a chance. I remember Rush being a topic of conversation with Mastodon fans, AND the band members for years. I saw the drummer hail Moving Pictures as one of his most influential albums, I bought it, and the rest is history. I know this was lengthy but DAMN I have wanted this feeling from new Mastodon for years. Like I said, the last four albums have all grown on me (well, maybe not Emperor Of Sand), but this is the first time since Blood Mountain I've felt EXCITED by a new album. And that was fifteen years ago. ...now I need the same to happen to one time heroes of mine, Opeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
