No, still on my best of 89-91 usb stick in the car 😀

These should be banned already! 😀 And I know these albums inside and out. It’s the boring prog metal stuff I’ve been researching 🤓😜

I've had Hex for a while and I really dig it, but this was my first listen to that one.  I dug it, but it was a bit different from Hex.  I liked the changes though, and thought the noise aspect of it was a nice way to disrupt the otherwise chilled out nature of this record.  Definitely worth repeated listening.

today's mission: checking out stuff from some bands who had stuff in my last order i really dug



definitely finding that time will die was a bold step in a new, better direction for these guys, both of these are... fine but i wasn't too into either, they're more -corey though they still have some of the atmospheric moments too. i think i slightly preferred grievances but only slightly, i'll probably spin both these one more time but i doubt i'll get either



it doesn't have the same sound as their album this year for sure, but there's the same "death metal with a lot of prog influence" vibe going here & some of the same tricks. it's all a lot more straightforward though. i dig it & would definitely spin it again but i dunno if it's as exciting to me - it's definitely a bit less technical, for sure



hmm. i dunno, on first listen not much of this clicked for me. it's still the same fun prog/stoner metal fusion but the hooks aren't really there it feels like. maybe my opinion will change on relisten tho



ooh, this is definitely a case where one of these does waayy more for me than the other. specifically, the second one. worlds is... well, it has a bit crap of a production job, and a lot of ambient interludes that make the pacing of the album really weird (and drag it out a bit too long, there's somewhere around 20 minutes of ambience on the album and it's about 67 minutes in total so almost a third of the album is just that - and it's not bad ambience, but, again, flow gets a bit ruined by it). i didn't dig the riffs as much on this one either. beyond the shadows however. sounds exactly like on strange loops. which i am incredibly pleased about. it's just more of the sound i already really dig? hell yeah sign me up. missing the album-flows-as-one-piece vibe of on strange loops but i'm way into a lot of the individual songs anyways so it's whatever. good stuff. almost definitely picking this one up.

i have two more on my list for the moment (previous rivers of nihil album & then the DWeF album before stellar) & might also check out slugdge but the latter may not happen because the only feasible way to get their early albums is as a 3-disc set which, well, i'm trying to stick to one album per artist right now  :lol haven't even checked out the older alkaloid album because i'm getting the new one anyways so it's whatever man. but i might put that one in my order if there's space for it, ehh



eeuuugh, no thanks. this is just pure traincore with very few of the elements i cared about from their latest. the drum production is still total garbo here too so i guess that's just how they want to sound. anyways i didn't even finish this. oops.

update on this: i'm an idiot. astraea is great. grievances is just kinda alright though. the difference is that grievances seemed to push things to a binary "either atmospheric or very core-y" route while astraea tried to cut the difference and mostly succeeded. at the very least, astraea seems to have both better riffs in general & better emotive moments. or at least, that's my opinion for the current listen. but i'm likely to still check out grievances further at some point? not right now. but later. astraea is def my preference for the time being

AC/DC- Fly on the Wall

I was trapped like a fly on the wall
I was caged like a zoo animal


I love the title track. But that album blows.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol
