Re: Shit Music yes, very tricky, recently buying cds has been the way to go, it'll become less of an issue when I finally run out of new bands and start purchasing newer or older material by some bands I own instead, considering that at present my collection consists of just 70 bands and 140 albums I'm severly underdone

Re: Shit Music

Any mechanic will tell you that cars these days are built to fall apart within a few years, just in time for your warranty to run out and for you to finish paying off the loan so you can buy another, but many older vehicles continue to rack up miles, and are cheaper to fix. I feel like one of the main problems is that we have lost our sense of pride. It used to be that people were proud of the work they did and would strive to do it to the best of their ability, but the current generation's mentality is one of just doing enough to get by, merely acceptable is the new standard for quality.
Which would explain why one of my professors last year didn't seem too surprised when people got C's on what I thought was a pretty easy exam. Low expectations, yes indeed. It integrates well into the concept of 'everyone being a winner' which only hurts these people in the long run. As for older cars being reliable, you've got a point, apparently late 90's Corvettes were hard to maintain since their ECM chips made engine repair difficult (the same goes for the Acura NSX or any other car that's more electronic than mechanical), but 5.0 liter Mustangs are just the opposite since their V8's are very easy to get around. I would say that the repair industry also rips people off - my father has a coworker who managed to fix a problem with his car using $40 and technical expertise. Hiring a mechanic would have been upward of $1000.

Re: Shit Music so far as modern cars go I rhink it depends, of course many manufacturers of cheaper cars will not build cars to last, but companies like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani really have to make cars that will last otherwise no one would ever buy them, no one buys a supercar as a temprary investment, the amount you pay for them means you should be able to use them everyday without anything going wrong, if all car manufacturers had this mentalitu we'd be much better off

Re: Shit Music

music is like beer' date=' you don't know what you're getting 'til you start drinking, if you don't like the music that's being played you can put something else on, if you don't like the beer you're drinking you stop drinking it[/quote'] I wonder what bands correspond to which type of alcohol. I'd say Slipknot is Budweiser. Famous, but for reasons unfathomable.

Re: Shit Music

Pantera would be Carlsberg Special Brew' date=' think only the Brits will know of this one.[/quote'] Nah, they would have to be that drink they favor, I think it's called a blackjack or something, the one where you drop a shot of whiskey into your beer. Pantera definitely has a whiskey feel to them.

Re: Shit Music A guy on the UKPCF found this little turd. I'm confident that you'll agree it's the worst damn song you've ever heard in you life. As a safety valve to your inevitable rage and horror, I have posted the parody below it. Not a genious piece of satire, I agree, but it does it's job well enough. __HeE6NWmDE IljfuqDgHj4

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      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!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      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.
