I bought this one the other day/week/month (it's a reissue) and got it in the mail last Tuesday. I've honestly never properly listened to Swans, but I saw them live in 2016 and that really was quite the experience. Possibly the loudest, most hypnotising concert I've ever been to. I have listened to this particular album before, but never went further than halfway through the first disc. Owning it physically will remedy that and I'm about halfway disc one. and.. yes, it really is 'something', but it's a lot to take in.

The Flower Kings: Space Revolver

Space Revolver is the album I've gotten into quickest from the first Kingdom of Colours box. I love I Am the Sun (both parts), and A King's Prayer ends with a fantastic and emotional guitar solo.

Why am I even doing this to myself, seriously

At least this'll make the decision on which album to put on the bottom of my AOTY list a whole lot easier

Is the music better than the album cover?

No. The first half was almost unlistenable, and the best I could say about the second half is 'interesting at times' but interesting of course is not inherently good. There's some good instrumentation going on with some pretty cool guitars and synths in some songs but then there's this dude trying to imitate a whale on the mic or whatever that's supposed to be, just shouting all over it

I mean, contemporary art

what the fuck is that, Train?

@ Jon.... 5/6 rating up there.  The odd-one out (for me... just ignorance) is Luv Hunter - though, the cover suggests it's something I'd be all over.  I'd drop that one into my 'DTF recommends' playlist, and give her a go sometime over the weekend ... but it doesn't appear to be on Spotify.   :angry:

Luv Hunter is an obscure one and done band from the early 90s. I get an early Queensryche vibe from them more than anything.

Ayumi Hamasaki - TROUBLE

Spotify recommended this to me out of nowhere and it was better than I thought. Jumps between a lot of styles in 5 songs (including R&B, Symphonic Metal, Visual Kei, and Pop). Pretty catchy, and I enjoyed it. 4.5/5

Redemption - Long Day's Journey Into Night

Meh, kind of hit or miss. Drums and keys were the highlights, even if the keys were undermixed a bit. No complaints about the vocalist. Wayyyy too many guitar solos. 3.5/5

One of those classic alternative albums I never checked out. Too bad I didn't because it's pretty good.

Kaipa is a cool band from the few times I've heard them.  Same with Tower of Power (somehow they slipped off my radar)

I'm listening to the new Symphony X album called War of the Worlds Part 1, but when I bought it on the weekend, it was under R and the band name is a misprint and says Michael Romeo instead, weird.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

I really liked it. I enjoyed a different voice on the SX stuff. It was less one dimensional
