  2. The first thing that comes to mind is to say this is relatively new thing for me, although I've been listening to it since my mid-to-late 20s - I'm now 63! - How time flies! I used to be into long, instrumental pieces. Metal expresses powerful, deviation from the norm, often discordant, using rough, rather than smooth, textures, overall creating a sense of hardness and "things not being right". This I've come to find interesting and fresh.

  3. Well that's pretty amusing, considering I gave those two my my no. 2 spot in 2020 just behind Sumac-also Aaron Turner. I think I was the only one at M-F who even mentioned those albums. But it's good shit...seriously surprised you enjoyed those two albums.

  6. Thankfully that wont happen in my time, therefore someone has to buy them and fatten them up for sale so it may as well be me. None for my girls. They eat this green stuff that grows everywhere on the ground. During the wetter months when the green stuff doesn't grow as fast they get these big balls of the dead green stuff that was cut off the paddocks they weren't using the year before.

  7. I sometimes club my vegetables and drag them across the cutting board while I'm prepping dinner. It makes me feel like an ancient hunter. Does that count?

  9. Honestly, never really saw this as an actual thing so much as some people just trying to make it a thing...kind of like people trying to get a meme to trend. It's not like "viking metal" where you've got a thousand bands running around making music about Scandinavian history and Norse gods. You've basically got Alestorm, Swashbuckle, Running Wild and that's about it....and while I very much enjoy Running Wild, I don't think the limited amount of band participation is enough to justify a new category

  10. Nice list. Carnivore, Zappa, Swans, Sarcofago you're all over the place. As one track mind as my lists usually are I do derive pleasure from seeing others' more eclectic lists. You have two albums by bands with the word Crimson in their names, neither of which I've ever heard. (I mean I've heard KC just not that album) One question though, a Google search of "No Exit" returns the 1999 Blondie album. Pages of it. Is there another "No Exit" album by an 80's band I'm unaware of? Not really all that different because I had 4 of your 10 and 2 more second choices (SNM & Ace) which might have made my list if I wasn't holding it to one album per band. Obviously I'm not gonna have Maiden on my list but I accept that most others would. No surprise the Aussie has an Aussie band as his #1 selection!

    What Are You Listening To?

    Have you ever bothered to research how much grain it takes to raise one cow? The methane produced by commercial modern factory farms is something like 14% of all man made emissions. Factory farmed red meat is a complete cluster fuck. It wouldn't have to be that way if farmers used regenerative practices from what I've read restoring nutrients to ecosystems rather than raping the land. Beef could actually be healthy if the practices were changed from using primarily corn to feed them to grass fed regenerately raised meat. I won't touch any beef that's not organic. It's poison afaic. I may as well take up smoking.

    What Are You Listening To?

    Honestly, we'd all be better off not eating cows or raising them contributing to methane. There would certainly be less heart disease. That said, I do like a good beef taco from time to time-haha Well the thing I find amusing is the overt experimental, artsy meandering quality to a lot of their music that you usually say that you find annoying. Here's what I wrote at the time in our end of year wrap-ups: 2. Old Man Gloom/Seminar VIII: The Light of Being and Seminar IX: Darkness of Being- Two pandemic albums dedicated to the passing of bassist Caleb Scofield who also worked with Cave-In. Their sound is more tilted to Cave-in’s alternative rock and post hardcore sound than Turner’s other projects a long with some expected post metal. Their previous works alternated from my limited listening between great and annoying AF. These weirdos specialize in experimental sludge and are tricksters. It’s not uncommon to have a track that starts out strong and then gives way to ten minutes of inane noise. Think Melvis at their most experimental and irritating. That tendency made their last double album, The Ape of God a bit of a deal breaker for me. Well, OMG clean that up here and mostly reign in the extended noise integrating the feedback and static in a more cohesive way with a couple of notable exceptions and offer an album of great excess-an unruly mixture of sludge, alternative, punk/hardcore and post punk. It’s a messy affair with some failed experiments but mostly awesome. Naturally, many of you will think it’s an artsy fartsy horrid affair. I do not.

  18. I'm definitely not a deluxe set kinda guy, I stopped collecting physical media 10 years ago. And I already have that album obviously, I've had it for 36 years. Not something I ever thought needed a remaster. But yes Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is an iconic album that I would agree is easily worthy of that 8.4 and I'd probably even go a little higher than that, my score would be up into the 9's. Don't wanna use the word "perfect" but it's pretty damn close. I remember buying that album and the first listen and the massive impression it made on me at the time. Couldn't even venture a guess as to how many hundreds of times I've spun that one. One of my top 5 albums of the 80's for sure. Which makes me wonder...what were my favorite albums from the 80's? 1980's 1. To Mega Therion 2. Reign in Blood 3. Epicus Doomicus Metallicus 4 Don't Break the Oath 5. Ride the Lightning 6. Iron Fist 7. Violence & Force 8. Beneath the Remains 9. Taking Over 10. Bonded by Blood 11. Darkness Descends 12. Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing 13. First & Last & Always 14. Coroner - RIP 15. Power From Hell 16. City Baby Attacked by Rats 17. Denim & Leather 18. 7 Churches 19. Under the Sign of the Black Mark 20. Scream Bloody Gore
