I think you misunderstood. I have no time for the Beatles, it's all Amon Amarth all the time...Lennon and McCartney would have killed for AA's sense of melody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST3V Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 The ConstruKction of Light is one of the most fascinating albums I've heard. The interplay between the quartet is mesmerizing, I truly think it's one of the groups best projects.

bluefox4000 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Just a thought I never used to do this but as i'm rounding 40 (god, lol) I skip more and more tracks on albums on albums. Never used to. But really i have less patience now for songs i do not like. some people will say i'm ruining the album experience but no i'm not gonna waste my life on bad tracks sorry, lol Really albums over 50 minutes test me. Unless it's like prog. but i'm paying Jackson Browne and all his later albums run like 58 minutes. i could cut at least 2 songs off each his last 4. Anyway. i'm becoming a crankier music fan........i like it. Mick 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 So far this year has been great for women in music, at least from my perspective. Nearly all of my AOTY contenders at the moment are fronted by women, at least in part. 100 Gecs - 10000 Gecs (Laura Les) Paramore - This Is Why (Haley Williams) boygenius - The Record (Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers) Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good! (Jessie Ware) Kesha - Gag Order (Kesha) Add in a couple others I've checked out that won't compete for that top spot but are still quite good to great and female fronted: Tanukichan - GIZMO (Hannah van Loon, honestly I just remembered I listened to this one and how much I liked it, will need to revisit but this could also be in the AOTY convo depending on how that revisit goes) Margot Price - Strays (Margot Price) Olivia Jean - Raving Ghost (Olivia Jean, now Jack White's fiancé I think?) Gabrielle Aplin - Phosphorescent (Gabrielle Aplin) Miley Cyrus - Endless Summer Vacation (Miley Cyrus, okay this one is actually pretty mid but that song Flowers has proven to be a well deserved lasting hit for Miley, and there are at least a couple other winners in this tracklist as well) Heck, I even liked that new Maneskin record, and their bass player is a woman (Victoria De Angelis) I should probably check out the new Lana Del Ray album as well.... she's not always been my cup of tea but I can see myself getting into her eventually.

I would also like to give a shout out to a female fronted band. Blood Ceremony's new album The Old Ways Remain is very good. They have a female vocalist who also plays the flute. They have a psychedelic vibe to their sound. A very old school rock sound. They have been around for a long time now and I have no clue why they are still so unknown.

Wandering Hermit Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Regarding the new Lana del Rey... I found it a mixed bag but the good tunes on it are stellar, such as The Grants and the title track. Certainly is not the album I'd recommend someone to start with . That would be Norman f***ing Rockwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a band like The Strokes that would probably be a ridiculously long album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hating Nickelback is still the thing to do. And it’s not because of them being formulaic, it’s because they sound awful and their songs mostly suck.
