Whatcha Eatin'?


RelentlessOblivion

Mayo smells like its already gone bad. It has that sour vinegary stench. Yuck! I also have a strong dislike for vinegar. But the only salad dressing I'll eat is Italian. Yes I have issues......
Man, I love vinegar, pickles, marinated artichokes, sauerkraut, kimchi. Olives, too, I love really strong olives. What I can't do is blue cheese, want to talk about something that's "already gone bad"...

It's not perfectly edible if it makes your throat feel like it's closing up while you're trying not to puke. My mom tells me I was allergic to milk when I was little, I don't recall, but I honestly hate the taste of milk as well. I've tried to get past it on several occasions; just like my goat meat hatred, it's fated not to be.

Not really' date=' I don't feel like I'm missing out. It's obviously not an allergic reaction, though, I love milk products.[/quote'] Fair enough, but overly picky people tend to piss me off when there are people in this existance with little to no food. They don't get a choice, and I suspect that most picky people if they were starved to that degree would suddenly find they were able to eat things that they 'couldn't' before. Genuine allergic reactions are a whole different thing of course.

I eat the shit out of blue cheese. And I'm supposedly allergic to penicillin. Wonder if I'm still allergic. I should really get a scratch test done one of these days. My mom's told me that I'm allergic to penicillin and sulfa (which is like 80% of all antibiotics) since I had a reaction to them when I was a baby. But I also had food allergies as a kid that I grew out of by the time I was 7-10 years old. Edit: http://blog.onespotallergy.com/2012/01/if-im-allergic-to-penicillin-can-i-eat-blue-cheese-made-with-penicillium-mold/ Yeah this seems like I should try ruling out antibiotic allergies.

My (sadistic) mother traumatized me as a child with it so its def a psychological dislike. But with mayo I just cannot stomach it or watermelon.

Of course one could overcome their dislikes if circumstances dictated such necessity. I don't feel bad for being picky because my circumstances allow me to be so.

Have you had any coffee lately? Or are you still just drinking hot tea. I remember you saying that creamer sometimes didn't agree with you.
Yeah, plenty of coffee, just black now. I'm actually really happy I stopped putting milk in, it's opened up a whole new range of flavors. I love tea, but oddly, if I have tea on an empty stomach, I'll throw up. Not coffee, though.

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
