What album are you listening to? v.5

[Samsara]

Today so far:

[jakepriest]

Wonder what artistic direction made them make the aorta blue in that cover art... triggers me so much as a med student 
I mean they got the vena cava right... why is the rest completely flipped then color-wise?

Graphic designers take liberties for marketing reasons.

Black Sabbath- Born Again

[Sacul]

Gets better with each listen 

[Tomislav95]

[jakepriest]

I'm listening to this right now for the first time ever. Decent so far.

[Crow]

Go listen to beggars or Vhiessu they're better

[jakepriest]

Maybe some other time. I'm enjoying Water a lot tbh.

[Scorpion]

The Alchemy Index is pretty great. I'd rank the albums as follows:

1. Water
2. Earth
3. Fire
4. Air

They're all great though.

I disagree on Vheissu/Beggars being better, though nothing on TAI is as good as Beggars (the song).

[jakepriest]

I'd go with Water > Fire >> Earth >>>>>>> Air after one listen. Will definitely revisit Thrice sometimes, left a good impression overall.

[Tomislav95]

On my first listen I liked Fire more but now I think Water is better.

Black Sabbath- Born Again

Not up to your usual standard Jason. Shit album!

It's a bit of a polarizing album, some people love it, some hate it

I think it's fucking fantastic.

[bl5150]

Fucking dud. 

There we go ......"two all"  and definitely polarizing. 

[wolfking]

I just love Gillan's vocals on the whole record.  Better production would have made it even better.

I can't remember much about it aside from the fact that I was skipping through it very quick - and my iTunes song ratings show me rating a couple of tracks 4/5 stars and, aside from one 2 star   the rest were 3's.   Presumably it was just the songs - doubt I would've had any issue with Gillan.

Stryper- Against the Law

[jjrock88]

Savatage- Edge of Thorns

[Big Hath]

[Zydar]

Haken - Aquarius (Re-Issue 2017) on Spotify.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

On my first listen I liked Fire more but now I think Water is better.

Water is the best of them. There are some amazing melodies and textures throughout.

It just wasn't a good fit.

Magnum - Sleepwalking. Never heard this one before. It's ok.

[Crow]

checking out the two albums from this band
first one: production is trash and the album feels a bit monotonous but the style is okay. wouldn't pick it up
second one: dang, this is really cool though. it's definitely refined from the first album & production wise is a ton better as well. i bought it earlier today. it's very much "my thing". the opener is prob my favorite track though tbh but it's killer as heck

[jjrock88]

Judas Priest- British Steel

Def Leppard- On Through the Night

Agree. There are some really cool tracks on this album which is marred by some godawful production. I particularly like Gillan's performance on Trashed: "And as we got trashed, we were laughing still, well bless my soul etc". I will admit the instrumentals are basically just filler and the cover art is pretty uninspiring. Still my treasure my vinyl copy which I bought the day it was released here in Australia. 

Today I've played

Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound - Ekranoplan
Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruption
Sigur Ros - Takk

Ekranoplan was a purely speculative purchase, I had never heard of AHiSS nor read any reviews. Smart move as it turned out. One of the best albums I bought in 2016. The link below is for the instrumental track Summon the Vardig, one of my favourites.
