Chronos Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Kind of a disappointing listen. Not nearly as good as I remember (it's been years!!). But it absolutely blows away 72 Seasons. Highlights for me are "The Judas Kiss" and "Suicide and Redemption." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastillePark Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 The National has a new album out today so that will be in heavy rotation for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it absolutely blows away 72 Seasons. Highlights for me are "The Judas Kiss" and "Suicide and Redemption." The production here was always the issue. It took me several listens to get into it because of that. I have no clue what Rick Rubin and the band were thinking. How did any of them say yeah, that sounds good and my ears aren't bleeding after hearing that. The loudest produced album I have ever heard and not in a good way. The songs themselves are great. With better production this album could have been a classic. Instead it's just a very good one. They played six songs off it every show on that tour. The audience was into them at the show I went to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 In Flames They seem to be on constant rotation these days. Fans tear entire chunks of their discography apart, but I'm lucky in that I appreciate all of it, in varying degrees. I've also played a fair bit of Baroness, Thrice, Mastodon and Blue Oyster Cult, but not entire albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Mastodon Pearl Jam. Mastodon is one of my fav metal bands of all rime. Starting from Crack the Skye onward. And PJ. i've really only been playing the first 3 albums. they're all fantastic. I've tried after those but for me PJ is only worth the first 3, very quick drop off in quality afterward.

invisible airwave Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 PJ's last two albums have been rather flawed to me at times. At least their previous ballads had grit to it. Future Days on Lightning Bolt is too schmaltzy for me. Rolling Stones Zappa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their earlier albums had more of a "group of guys jamming out" kinda feel to them, eventually they evolved to be more, for lack of better terms, "professional/mainstream", but still very much kept their originality and experimentation. Ill give 2 songs to highlight this this is from 1996 This is 2004 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Dan Fogelberg Wver discover an artist, totally out the blue, never having even heard the name before, and found yourself diving deep into their discography? Because I have with Dan. His music is enriching my life. His music speaks to me, I am in awe. I feel I found him at the exact right moment in life to impact me, similar to when I discovered Bruce Springsteen, or the moment Taylor Swift released Reputation. I just love his music. I feel like his music has literally added something to my life that was missing beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're one of my boyfriend's favorites as well, we got to see them last year. We were in the 4th row in front of Brent Hinds, it was incredible. Brent is one of his biggest inspirations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Still on the Toto and Pallas kick. Discovered The Outfield in the last couple of weeks. Kind of like a Rush lite... lots of energy and fun songs - but they sound great. I missed catching this band back in the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
