    They're great. This one's my favorite of theirs - "From The Lion's Mouth". Another 1981 gem. I also enjoy their previous album "Jeopardy" and the more polished "Hands and Hearts".

     

    Thanks! Just about to stream this now, sounds like it's right up my alley tbf. Will give you my verdict!

    NP: The Sound - From the Lions Mouth

     

    Liking this a *lot*, just three tracks in!

    The video has a lo-fi quality that's a bit haunting to me, and surprisingly it doesn't sound like garbage for being a live recording from almost 40 years ago. Do you know The Sound? I've been addicted to them for a few months now, great stuff especially early on.

    NP: Selbst - Relatos De Angustia

     

    No! I'm a fan of Joy Division and other post-punk bands, but not checked out The Sound yet. Maybe I should go in on them first?

    NP: Descendents - Milo Goes to College

    Not off the top of my head, no. I got to see them with the two-drummer lineup years ago and I was blown away. Amazing power in the sound and performance. It was totally captivating. If I come across anything good, I'll let you know.

    That'd be cool if you do come across one, cheers! I know I found some decent-quality YouTube footage a few years back. They had the two drummers and you could feel the extra energy/ferocity for sure!

    So far today:

     

    Cult of Luna - The Raging River

    Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want

    Adolescents - Adolescents

    Daniel Avery - Drone Logic

    I agree. Good parts, good songs, and I think that's the closest they've come to capturing the energy of the two-drummer lineup on a studio recording.

     

    Are there any good Melvins live recordings you'd recommend, btw? I've seen some footage and agree it captured a bit more than the studio recordings!

     

    NP:

    Was: Donald Byrd - A New Perspective

    Now: Cult of Luna - The Raging River

    I'm not a huge huge fan of their studio albums in general, but that one's great, definitely my favorite of theirs.

    Yeah, I've heard a few of their more 'acclaimed' albums and this is the only one I can say I love all the way through tbh. 'Experimental' music is great, but not something I always feel Melvins excel in. I like the more straight-forward approach of this one - just a collection of great heavy rock songs. A lot of fun to listen to.

     

    Was: Róisín Murphy - Róisín Machine

    Now: Yaeji - What We Drew 우리가 그려왔던    

     

    Getting my quota of electronic/techno/house listening in for the night. Easily 2 of my favourite non-metal releases from last year

  19. Hi there

    in Introduce Yourself

    It's nice to be back! Folks who've been a long time might remember me as 'JBaker', but as it's been a bit of a while (with new email addresses and all that), figured I'd make a fresh account!

     

    I'm Jay, currently studying a Master's in French and living in Birmingham, UK. 

     

    Music fan in general, with metal being one of my favourite genres. In terms of metal, I am kind of picky? But I can invariably find something I like in most metal/metal adjacent subgenres. A few favourites are: Black Sabbath, Neurosis, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Meshuggah, Converge, Faith No More, Deafheaven, Motorhead, Godflesh, Deftones, Dying Fetus, Faith No More, Nails, Cult of Luna, Altar of Plagues, Killing Joke.

     

    I've also spent much of today listening to Morbid Angel and having a great time :)

     

    As folks who knew me the first time around may attest, I also enjoy a great amount of very un-metal stuff. This has only grown over the years, but probably best left for another discussion. haha

     

    Cheers and hope you're all doing well! Looking fwd to getting stuck in again after quite a number of years :D
