What album are you listening to? v.6

[kirksnosehair]

Taking my cue from ReaperKK - this is my winter storm soundtrack








In my humble opinion, these two records represent the zenith of Opeth's career.

Trans Siberian Orchestra- Christmas Eve and Other Stories

[ThatOneGuy2112]

Gonna post some of my go-to winter albums too. Been spinning these lately.

[NoseofNicko]

[Buddyhunter1]

Now that's a classic.

[Nachtmerrie]

been spinning this over the past month or so and god it's

so good, but so terrifying lol

Sounds great. Gonna check it out.

Totally recommended

White Ward - Futility Report

Starting to get into this one. The dark and creepy atmosphere is nice and all, but it's got some really badass riffs here and there too

Pretty sure I first heard this band when Parama played Futility Report (the song) in a plug.dj session 

This was an instant purchase after the first listen! Great record. I can't for the life of me get into their latest album though.

Now that's a classic.

Have owned it on CD for many years but could never really get into it until now. Now I love it.

[HOF]

Something called Penguin Cafe Orchestra (self titled) that was mentioned on Steven Wilson’s podcast. One of these songs was sampled by Spacehog for their 90s radio hit In The Meantime.

Basically pastoral electronic prog type music. Think a more stretched out 70s version of Field Music.

Trans Siberian Orchestra- Christmas Eve and Other Stories

Atta boy!  That album is good anytime of year, imo.

It’s the first album that comes to my mind on a sweltering hot plus 35c Friday night in July

yeah because it's pretty bland. idk what happened i found their second one just. not interesting at all

[jjrock88]

Trans Siberian Orchestra- The Christmas Attic

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Cool stuff there. I'm not sure I'm getting the hype for the unwound album but that might require a few more listens.

So embarrassingly the only Opeth album I'm familiar with is Damnation. I'm going to listen through their whole discography next week, but today I'm spinning this:

[Zydar]

Paul McCartney - McCartney III

[Revenge319]

My curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to give this album a listen.

And I'll be honest... After just one listen, I really, really like this album. Musically, it's great, and honestly I think it's great lyrically. There's only one line in the whole album I don't really like, but that's just because I don't normally like swearing in music. This is so weird, but it's really funny. And even if/when the humor wears off, I think I'll still really like this album. A very good effort from Devin Townsend.

Come on now, "I'm Ziltoid, I don't give a shit, I live above Earth in a big rocket ship" is the best line on the album!

That album's a mixed bag for me, but By Your Command and Color Your World are some of his best songs ever.

Opeth were very, very difficult for me to get into.  I am not a fan of cookie-monster vocals at all.  98% of my music library is bands that sing only.  To this day I still really can't get into the first three albums Opeth put out, but beginning with "Still Life" up through and including "Watershed" they just seemed to release better and better albums, collimating with their creative zenith in "Ghost Reveries" which I still think is their best album with "Heritage" right behind it.  I'm not crazy about their new direction.  The albums seem to get pretty uneven after "Heritage"

Their second best after the debut:

The cookie monster vocals was why I never checked them out but I want to give them a shot. There are some bands like Fair To Midland (early albums) that drop some heavy vocals and it fits perfectly.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

On a guitarist album kick lately....

Check out the album Deliverance.  The title track, A Fair Judgement and Master’s Apprentices are really good songs.

[ReaperKK]

A Fair Judgement is actually one of the few non Damnation songs I know! I'll be taking a dive into Opeths music next week .

[Lowdz]

Tesla - The Great Radio Controversy

Savatage - Gutter Ballet

Blue Murder - st

[jingle.boy]

Goddamit Jon, so close. 5/6 gems there.
