youre entirely welcome to see if you feel like being 'witty' in person. id actually be delighted to orphan your kid.

Pity the Sadness and As I Die are the only two good songs on Shades Of God.

I remember as a young lad, being really into Gothic and Icon but when a friend gave me a lend of Shades Of God I just couldn't get into it at all. It had a kind of meandering, almost bluesy groove to it that just seemed to be at odds with the metallic goth of the other albums.

Last week, after watching an interview from that era on YouTube, I put it on with the hope of it finally clicking but no. A transitional album that would have been better off as an EP.

I love shades of god, well not love, but I haven't got rid of it yet. It's a cool fresh sounding album, much fresher than the stuff they release nowadays. I will agree that those 2 songs stand out as singles so they sort of underwhelm the rest of the album by contrast.

By solipsistic I was referring to your (dis)ability (too 97?) to drag your bleak cul-de-sac philosophical view of existence into every discussion, ie making it all about you. Like how Nixer had to make every topic revolve around him and his fantastic personality. This is ultimately a metal music forum,  not a session on your councelor's chair.

in some respects that fair, and I'm deleting everything, because I simply don't care anymore about any of the things relevant to this board. I even asked for one of the mods to delete my profile and all my posts, but it seems fair that I do it myself.

Had A-Ha's "Scoundrel Days" on regularly over the last few weeks.  Cracking album, always think of it around this time of year too.

it's their best album

"Recorded to 2" tape" is a current cool underground trend/ virtue signal that fills me with trepidation.  Oh,  they are recoding to tape,  they must be good! The same 20 year olds who "only listen to 80s metal!". Gimps.

you're not wrong here that two trends which were kind of nice to see a few years ago, have become hollowed out and trite.

The topic is spot on, as with most other topics here,  before they are derailed by boring and predictable solipsistic waffle.

you've used big words correctly before, and you've sort of used 'solipsistic' correctly here too, but in a fine example of multiple irony, failed to realise it applies mainly to you. I tried to bring the complete opposite of solipsism to this thread- by trying to drag the entire topic out of self referentialism, out of my head, out of yours too; that was the entire source of my irritation, that this stuff is becoming autonomic, and despite that you still don't get it.

not only are you quite stupid, you're sufficiently stupid you don't even realise it.
