Re: Albums You Wish You Never Bought

Fuck well, here we go. Job for a cowboy-Genesis Demonic Christ-Punishment for Ignorance Hammerfall-Legacy of Kings Satyricon-Volcano
blowjob for a cowboy is crap. I'm surprised you'd bother wasting money on any of their material. Demonic Christ isn't amazing. That Hammerfall album, while the first bad thing they did, is still better than their last three, sadly. I never cared for that Satyricon album either.
All of my Dismember albums Obituary-Frozen in time
:shock: Dismember is just awesome. That is a great Obituary album too. You need to listen to them until you see their awesome.

While I'm just as confused as you about Dismember being listed there, I could really say the same to you about Celtic Frost, among other things...

Re: Albums you wish you could unhear.

Here are some more! Anthrax - Spreading The Disease Blue Oyster Cult - Agents Of Fortune Blue Oyster Cult - Specters Blue Oyster Cult - Curse Of The Hidden Mirror Death - Scream Bloody Gore Deicide - Legion Faith No More - King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime GWAR - Carnival of Chaos GWAR - We Kill Everything Pantera - Cowboys from Hell Pantera - Great Southern Trendkill Rammstein - Rosenrot Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe
I actually like Rosenrot-I prefer it to the last album they brought out. As for Spectres and Agents? Maybe a bit over produced and polished, but, honestly, genuinely brilliant song writing. And some of the most underrated riffs ever-Golden Age of Leather, ETI, Godzilla, RU Ready 2 Rock, Tattoo Vampire, This Ain't the Summer of Love... 8-) Is this thread meant as 'I'm fed up with these albums' or is it about albums you think are rubbish? There's a bit of both in the replies. :?:

Way hay' date=' found somebody who like Rosenrot. lol[/quote'] Honest, satan (that must be an oxymoron!) I really like it! i think it was a left-overs from Reise Reise, but I thought it was really good. The last one, Liebe ist für alle, was really, really dull IMO.

Re: Albums you wish you could unhear. hate to say it but on those two BOC albums NTNR is right on the money in my opinion they are some of the weakest albums the Cult made (at least the ones I own anyway) hopefully I'm not coming across as pretentious or arrogant because I'm trying not to be also I'm not really a fan of industrial or Rammstein I think all their albums are dull

Not in the slightest, Murph. You obviously know your Cult! I'm just curious as to why they were chosen as poor. I can see where you're coming from. They are very polished. I suppose I should nominate a couple of unlistenables: Metallica-The Black Album Anything by Guns and Roses Anything by any of the line ups of Whitesnake Anything by the Darkness

I don't know there's something about those Cult albums that just don't connect with me' date=' as for your unlistenables I AGREE 100%[/quote'] I actually get in a rage when I see the Darkness on the TV. And I genuinely believe that The Black Album is overrated. Some tracks okay, others rubbish.

Rosenrot was just bland and uninspired to me. It lacked in every facet imaginable. Reise, Reise on the other hand was their best album. Liebe ist fur alle Da took me a little get into but I like it. It's certainly better than Rosenrot. Agents had terrible songs. With the exception of 'Reaper' that album is a snooze fest. The same can be said for Specters. It was slightly heavier but minus 'Godzilla' it was just a better produced version of Agents. Both were just awful. I've read that the band wanted to write pop music when they made those albums hence the dark atmosphere was gone. I just can't get into either release. The thread is about albums you wish you'd never bother to waste your time listening too. I want the time I wasted on these two releases back.

Re: Albums you wish you could unhear.

that's how I feel about just about every Iron Maiden release since Fear Of The Dark, I'm starting to like No Prayer For The Dying a little more but it will never be one of my favourites another one I want to unhear, Slayer - Christ Illusion
The first time I heard 'No Prayer for the Dying' I hated it. I was shocked that Maiden had made an album I didn't like. I put it on my shelf for a few weeks and then one day came back to it and loved it. I'm not sure what changed my feelings towards it but it's highly underrated. There is some very original material on both that album and Fear of the Dark.

    • 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
