Segue Myles Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Machine Head- Thriugh The Ashes Of Empires It's not quite on the level of The Blackening, but this remains a phenomenal return to form for the band. Gosh, it's so easy to forget how well reviewed this album was, and how much the fans loved it, due to how much the following album eclipsed it. But it remains one of their shining moments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Machine Head- The Blackening This is just such a brilliant album to me. I have really taken to it more than ever the last couple of years, and I'd rank it as maybe the greatest metal album of the 2000s. Rivalled by Mastodon's Leviathan and Lamb Of God's Sacrament for me, though this album rips me apart every single time. f***ing hell I've listened to this album since it came out and I just keep on loving it MORE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Blink-182 - One More Time… Eh. I mean. It’s fine. I might really get into it if it weren’t for the production just being hot garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Kylie Minogue- Tension She's in her fifties, and her pop is as shiny, exuberant and enjoyable as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this wouldn’t be the record to get you into them. Of the records I’ve heard, your best bet would be the self titled from 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually felt last years The God Machine was a bit of a letdown, but it was universally acclaimed and treated as a return to form. I thought it sounded like a bunch of demos with lacklustre production, and it felt very samey. But I enjoyed this album a lot! I really didn't see much that was memorable off that one. Beyond the Red Mirror was much more ambitious to my ears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The God Machine is my second least favourite BG album, after Twist In The Myth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Kylie Minogue- Disco I have a huge soft spot for this woman. She's just a pure joy of a person with ridiculously cheesy music that just exists to liven the mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Gordon Lighfoot-Summertime Dream (10/10) i have memories of my mom cooking dinner with this man in the background. His music makes me remember warm summer days in the 90's without a care in the world. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall likely try them again. They are never "bad" to my ears, just unlike Green Day, they never found a way to suck me in. Never say never! I like Angels And Airwaves though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little bit of that is because I found GD much earlier, but the rest is really just taste. That self titled thought is a mall emo masterpiece. Not on par with The Black Parade, but it can go toe to toe with anything from FOB for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any records from that period in particular you’d recommend? I’m already familiar with SDRE’s Diary, American Football’s s/t, and of course JEW’s Clarity. Also idk if it counts but I’ve got a few Fugazi records as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll keep my eye out for deals on these and also check if they’re on Bandcamp. I have The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Of Me from Brand New, which I like a lot, but don’t really listen to a ton because folks in my local scene are pretty hardline about not listening to Brand New anymore after what came out about their singer… and frankly I feel very conflicted about listening to their music myself, even though I bought that CD second hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
