I remember when fans said OBTN was a major sellout, I instead thought "these songs...never expected this from them", but in the BEST of ways. Come Around Sundown is just as great to me. Never a bad album, they and The Killers are my favourite mainstream rock bands to debut this century. I still need to check out Come Around Sundown. I went backwards instead just now, on Because The Times. Definitely a more “alternative” and less accessible album, but in a lot of ways it’s actually simpler than OBTN. The production quality is already here though. Everyone sounds fab, especially the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 6 hours ago, Segue Myles said: I'm not a fan of Rothfuss, but I love Feist! Have you read Robin Hobb? I might have skimmed though a book or 2 in the bookstore and not been very interested. Thats the extent of my interest in her work. Sadly fantasy has also gone somewhat the direction that music went for me. Loved it in the 1980's - read everything I could put on hands on. Katherine Kurtz, David Eddings, Raymond Feist, Robert E. Howard, Barbara Hambley, Tolkien, Robert Jordan (before he wrote the Wheel of Time he wrote some Connan The Barbarian books that were very good so I knew his name when The Wheel of Time came out and I grabbed it right away, b4 most folks were paying any attention to it), some Terry Brooks (his first 3 books), Tad Williams, C.S. Lewis, Lloyd Alexander, Harry Turtledove - on and on. Then in the early / mid 1990's, a few years after the music scene just died for me, the fantasy scene mostly died for me. Not as bad. I continued finding some stuff now and then that I liked. But nothing like in the 1980's and early 1990's. I know a lot of folks love George R.R. Martin's books and I tried the first one and gave up about half way through. Did not interest me so I never watched Game of Thrones. So no, not into he stuff and I find it difficult to find good fantasy to read. Sad but true since when done right its my favorite genre to read.

She was an 80s author under the name Meghan Lindholm, and her fantasy is rich with a sense of the historical genre (not unlike Katherine Kurtz, who I adore). She changed her name when Assassins Apprentice came out because it was so different, they thought it might make impact if published like a debut. You and I have the same taste in fantasy! I love all those authors. Robin Hobb is very similar to Tad Williams. Hobb and Tad are my two favourite authors followed by Jordan. Very big Terry Brooks fan as well.

XIV has a lot of fat on it going an hour with the bonus track. this is leaner and punchier IMO. i enjoy XIV but it's waned slightly over the years.
