I always wonder if everyone gets shown the same ads on a given video or if everyone gets different ones tailored specifically for them by what they've been talking about or searching for lately. Big Brother is watching. Not sure but I think I'd probably get different ads if I were to search for the same video 3 or 4 days in a row. All I do know for sure is that I am damn glad the election is over and I don't have to skip all these annoying Tronald Dump ads.

Not for nuthin' man but if you came by more often and posted in the new release thread it wouldn't get buried and fall off the first page of the activity thing so fast. Just sayin'... Yeah that Oldskull NHoNR is deffo one of the 2 or 3 best dm albums I've heard this year. I'd probably play it a lot more if I wasn't so obsessed with black metal.

Hahaha awesome!! I love how accommodating you lot are, willing to change thread titles just to suit our silly little complaints. This instance makes perfect sense to me though as it has been pointed out that almost nothing can be considered to be completely and truly 100% without flaws. And I know that makes people exclude things that they love but maybe they see some tiny little flaw there that they think disqualifies it. Which is of course nonsense. Because at the end of the day who's really to say what's a flaw and what's a feature? One of my all time favorites by a German band that never gets mentioned: Morrigan- Celts

Just looked it up out of curiosity, Google maps tells me it's 150 miles, about 2:30 driving time each way. Not a bad drive at all imo. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state, hilly and heavily forrested, as is western Maryland where Marky Mark resides. Nice warm sunny day today, perfect day for a nice long drive. Wish I had somewhere 150 miles away to go, I'm always up for a road trip.

No sir, that's not my candy and those aren't my steaks, those were just some generic pics I grabbed off the internet. I do let the boy eat candy but it's once a day in the evenings after dinner, just a few pieces as his dessert. He likes Sour Patch kids and gummie worms and M&M's so we rotate. I don't keep ice cream in the house. I used to be addicted and eat a pint every night. So now I figur I can't have a moment of weakness at 3 or 4am if there's none here. Last night we popped over the border to PA to do some air rifle shopping at Wal-Mart (since I can't buy one in NJ) to deal with my rats in the attic problem (they're too smart for the snap traps, got one the first night but seems they can get the bait without losing their heads) and we stopped off at Wayback Burger for burgers & shakes on the way home. So that meant no candy for him later when we got home, his chocolate shake was his dessert. As for the steaks yeah I prefer a nice thick one because I can't stand to eat medium/well meat that's got no pink left. So it's much easier to keep it in that medium/rare range with a thicker one. I can eat it rare or medium as well but med/rare is the goal. I don't have a special place for meat other than my local supermarket and the local butcher/deli in town here. I prefer the butcher shop "Sussex Meat Packing" their prices are actually better than the market. I'm in there a few times a week anyway to get lunch for the construction crew cuz they make the best sammies in town. I probably have a steak twice a month on average. A nice one pound boneless ribeye (Scotch Filet) is about $15, not gonna break the bank and it's just for me, I don't have to get one for the boy as he'd rather have something else anyway.

I think "flawless" was probably a poor choice of words for the thread title. On the other hand maybe the OP was truly in search of that one flawless album, his white whale so to speak and I'm totally misunderstanding. Either way I agree that we've all probably listed our favorites so many times compiled in so many different ways that it all becomes redundant at some point especially as our opinions change over time and as you say we can't remember what we've listed. That said I can never say no to a chance to make another list. But also you do bring up a good point that one man's flaw is often another man's attribute. Or what you might think of as a flaw at first you can learn to see as an album defining high point. Funny how our own opinions of certain music can change so drastically over time both positively and negatively.

New Nattverd was quite the surprise, much better than their last I thought. I'm deffo digging it although I would hesitate to call it flawless or anything like that. Haven't gotten to the new Imperium Dekadenz yet even as I've enjoyed some of their previous stuff quite a bit. Maybe today is the day.

You see now I (as always) look at this differently. I don't see how something being flawless or exemplary or exceptional or whatever word you want to use diminishes anything else. That to me is like flawed woman-logic, i.e. if she admits another woman is hot then in her mind that somehow diminishes her own hotness. Can't they both be hot/flawless? Each album has music on it that is what it is regardless of what music other albums might or might not have on them. Regardless of what has come before or what could be yet to come. When we listen to an album we are having a personal intimate experience with that music. And if something speaks to you and effects you and gives you pleasure without some major glaring imperfection or flaw and you form a real connection to that music then I think it's ok to recognize it as "flawless." A great album is a great album. If there were only 2 or 3 of them why would we waste so much time trying to find more? Because the purpose of a thread like this is to bring to light albums we think are special or noteworthy. Don't think we need to get hung up on the word "flawless" because it's easy to just say "Well nothing's absolutely perfect and without flaw so I have nothing to contribute." We had a thread on the other board, something like list your 5/5 albums and people got so worked up about how almost nothing really deserves 5/5. Just about everything is a fraction off perfection and I was like JFC guys don't overthink this, just list your very most favorite exhalted albums. Some dudes posted like 4 or 5 or 6 I think I listed 60-something.

No, I've never been to that Wintergreen Resort, but I'm sure I've stopped at that White's travel center Petro in Raphine. And yes of course it was Massanutten. My parents were getting too old to drive down to their timeshares in Massanutten and Williamsburg in the late 90's so they started bugging my sister and me to use their weeks. We each used a few of them to be polite but timeshares at the old folks' resorts weren't really my cuppa tea. I remember my whole family staying somewhere near UVA at Charlottesville sometime around my 17th birthday, summer of '78 it must have been, back when I had a bright and promising future haha. My parents were taking me on a tiki tour to look at a few potential colleges. We saw William & Mary and UNC Chapel Hill on that trip as well I believe. Of course a year later I ended up at USC Columbia and being the fuck up that I am I flunked out after the first year anyway and they invited me to fuck off. Could have been worse I suppse, USC was cheap as fuck back then even for out of state students, I reckon dad would've been a lot more pissed off had he spent UVA or W&M money.

This is pretty fucking good Black Metal Billy. But I have to admit I find it so confusing when I look at their M-A page to see that all the album tiltes are in Chinese characters without having any of the English titles in parenthesis or anything. After some trial and error clicking I managed to figure out which release is Nanking Massacre, but I still havent figured out which one is Gengzi. I gather this is like a Chinese historical metal opera or something, wish I knew what the details of the album's story were. What struck me first when I Googled Nanking Massacre is that I never realized that the Japanese were in an all out war with China at the same time they were in an all out war with us in WWII in the Pacific. So the Chinese were our allies fighting against Japan just 5 years before they bacame our enemies by backing North Korea in the subsequent global conflict. From Wikipedia: "The Nanjing Massacre or the Rape of Nanjing was an episode of mass murder and mass rape committed by Imperial Japanese troops against the residents of Nanjing (Nanking), at that time the capital of China, during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945)."

Stayed at a timeshare near Harrisonburg once. I always take I-81 when headed to points south and cut down I-77 through Charlotte as an alternative to I-95. Pretty pastoral part of the country with the rolling hills and dairy farms but I could see how a young man would want to leave in search of bigger and better things in the big apple.

Reign In Blood - Missa Pro Defunctis, Germany, still in regular rotation 2 years later Bilwis - Sagenwelt, Germany, top 5 album for me this year so far Cernunnos (Meuchelmord) Meuchelmord - Mordmelodien, Germany

Yeah, 22 pounds worth, that would probably last my 7 year old for about a week or so if I let him haha.

Which Martin Logans do you have? Gonna guess probably not the $99,999.00 Neoliths, maybe some ElectroMotions? https://www.martinlogan.com/en/category/our-speakers
