That was actually pretty self-explanatory, drunk train doesn’t like reading OPs and also blindly follows auto-correct now that I’m checking my last post

8) King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Infest the Rats' Nest

thrash metal is the worst subgenre of metal and i will hear no argument to the contrary. i can think of only a small handful of songs in the genre i actually like and have absolutely no use for any album in the style. so suffice to say i did not like this, at all. some of the stoner metal-y parts were not... awful? mars for the rich made me think, for at least a moment, maybe this wasn't going to be all misses, but nothing else really after convinced me otherwise. and i've listened to other king gizzard albums before and i didn't really care for 'em either even if they were in a different style. anyways. if this were even a track or two longer i would've legit just... not finished it, lol

would i relisten? (yes/maybe/no) - no

I actually like this album alright, but the highlight is Superbug for me which isn’t thrash at all and more stoner. Kinda like The Great Chain of Being from their Gumboot Soup album.

Their best albums imo are Polygondwanaland and Nonagon Infinity

Marillion - Clutching At Straws

the time has come yet again for me to please absolutely nobody by saying i didn't mind listening to this but it also didn't do much for me either. not really a fan of the vocal style at all and while the music is generally well-performed i didn't really connect with it on any emotional level either. not as, ahem, flowery as some other neo-prog i've heard but it still had that cheesiness to it, but i mostly just found it kind of dry compared to what i expected

would i relisten? (yes/maybe/no) - no

Wow, everyone connects to different stuff, but Clutching at Straws is one of the more emotionally stirring albums I own. So many great moments both musically and in the way Fish delivers some of the more emotive lines.

“So if you ask me, how do I feel inside.”

“I know that they would rather be/standing here beside me/racing the clouds home.”

“From the realization that all we’ve been offer behind, is to stand like our fathers before us on the firing line.”

“Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars.”

And some of my favorite lyrics just for the word play of it:

“The telltale talking of the last cigarette marking time in the package while the whiskey sweat lies like discarded armor on an unmade bed.”

“Hotel hobbies padding dawn's hollow corridors/A typewriter cackles out a stream of memories/Drying out a conscience, evicting a nightmare/Opening the doors for the dreams to come home.”

Some of it probably has to do with some of the stuff I was dealing with personally when I first got this album, but it almost always moves me when I play it. It’s also in my opinion one of the most memorable guitar performances in rock (both bass and lead). Rothery tears it up and Pete is everywhere.

Enjoy the Phideaux album ;)

(it's honestly one of my favorite albums though so I'll be a bit sad if you don't at least think it's decent)

That'd be Number Seven. It's a fine album, but Doomsday Afternoon is on a whole other level.

Brave is easily the best Marillion album imo. Has it’s slightly cheesy moments but much more contemporary than any of their other albums, more in the vein of a Steven Wilson album than over the top prog.

To each his own.. It's my favorite of theirs with Brave at a close second. As a recovering alcoholic, it hits right at my core beginning to end, and Fish's lyrics are unparalleled.

Pangaea - Vespr

i went into this one expecting to really not be into it, so lowered expectations and all, but actually it was... alright? i imagine this is what the contortionist probably sounded like pre-language. some of the same atmospheric stuff but heavier and much more of a -core sound overall. and while yeah there were some parts i thought sucked overall it was more diverse and interesting than i expected. take that for what it is, i guess, i didn't -love- it, but

would i relisten? (yes/maybe/no) - maybe

I’ll take a maybe  :tup it’s grown on me a lot after future listens, there’s a lot going on so I’m sure it’s worth a second spin at least.

And the Low album still being in your OP under 3rd pass does that mean you are still going to check it out after Feb? It is an amazing record and probably the best production I’ve ever heard.. just wasn’t sure if this is your kinda music

Lysistrata - Breathe In/Out

hmm my primary gripes with this one are that 1. it doesn't really have a foundational sound and really feels all over the place, though the places it goes are mostly neat and 2. i'm not sold on the vocals, but besides that, this was a pretty solid slice of emo/post-hardcore. i don't know if i loved it on first listen but there were a few tracks i dug a fair bit, it technically is pretty varied even if it does so at the cost of cohesion too, but. yeah, cool stuff

would i relisten? (yes/maybe/no) - yes

12) Earthrise - Eras Lost

if i were listening to this for my own personal enjoyment, i would've stopped halfway through the first song. so it is an accomplishment i made it as deep as the eighth track, i think. at least with the other albums i've really disliked, they had the decency to be relatively short. i could not sit through this, though. it started off real bad, got better for a few tracks, then descended back into the worst kind of chuggy and tuneless post-metal where heaviness is prioritized over everything and all the songs feel like they blend in together. the -core elements mixed in only make it worse too. i really, really did not enjoy this at all

would i relisten? (yes/maybe/no) - N/A, did not finish
