Just proof you aren't one of the chosen, like that bridge in Baltimore.

Ivar Bjørnson and Einar Selvik - Hugsjá

Totality was fucking amazing. I'm sorry I looked away from it even to get a shot on my phone, which can't do it justice, but there ya go:

If you're in a position to really appreciate all the detail and spatial definition in the mix, it hits hard. The riffs aren't telling the story, it's all about interlocking rhythms and textures. Certainly my favorite of theirs, not something I need to listen to a lot, but it's an experience when I do put it on. Most stuff I listen to for detail I prefer on headphones, but this one is speakers all the way.

It ended and was reborn as Rahu was defeated and forced to vomit forth the sun, get your facts straight!

Altar Of Plagues - Teethed Glory And Injury ...I feel like @markm would appreciate the artsy synth/industrial post-BM vibe of this album. Great on the big speakers.

Hey man, welcome, glad you're enjoying it here.

Rush - Hemispheres

Tigran Hamasyan + Yerevan State Chamber Choir - Luys i Luso

His Hero Is Gone - Monument To Thieves

Abigor - Taphonomia Aeternitatis Blut Aus Nord - Disharmonium: Nahab

I couldn't do that. I can't even listen to most of the stuff I have in the car because it's got so much road noise it's impossible to make things out, and then all the albums have different volume levels. But I've always been one to put on one album front to back. It looks like I have just over 1100 albums on the phone right now, almost 94gb. The playlists are just albums I wind up grouping together a lot, like Nordic folk music, fusion, favorite albums by certain bands that I don't mind on shuffle.

I'll only do shuffle if it's off a playlist I make from albums I like together. Pretty much only for longer drives these days. Shuffling everything on my phone is a non-starter, way too jarring.

Al Di Meola - Casino Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy

I agree. I warmed up to it more after I saw them live, too, whatever it feels like it's "missing" on the recording came through well onstage.

Frustratingly it's less than 3 hours from where I live and yet I know in advance that I will never have the time to go. But if you're in the region maybe we could meet up. My friend the bass player loved it this past year, I think she said Dødheimsgard was in her top ten shows ever.

Mars Volta - Frances The Mute

Ustalost - Before The Glinting Spell Unvests ...sorta not in the mood for this. Afterbirth - In But Not Of

Verberis - The Apophatic Wilderness

My true battle is against Cocomelon.

Weird day for listening, I can't settle on a damn thing. NP Voivod - Nothingface.

Wrath? Me? Never! It's a good illustration. Nobody is handing out points for good anatomy and perspective in a piece like this. The unrefined "naive" treatment has a folk art character that makes it feel more urgent, more like a document of something somebody actually experienced, which is a feeling that a more polished approach could easily fail to convey. Palette. Palette. The palate is part of your mouth. You wanna see wrath? "Color palate". With love, your pal the art snob

whew, I thought I was going to have to read that

Miles Davis - Sketches Of Spain Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime ...the young lad opened his big mouth about "80s rock" and "opera" and here we are
