It was all sort of authoritarian though. Covid turned people away from centrism but to be fair it's looking a lot more authoritarian from the freedom crowd now and they seem okay with that which I find weird. The whole point of everything I was ever giving out about was freedom as long as it hurt nobody and that's looking as far away as it ever did

I still think that something had to be gone horribly wrong somewhere before anyone would think Trump was a viable option for anything

I almost always find out by the lumps in the tea and I always think of that awful scene in Garage where Pat Shortt is about to get fired from his job and he's trying to stall it a bit

I'll probably end up giving mine away in the end if there's a ball of spares going. I'll see if anyone I know wants it but who I was going with won't be going now

Without a doubt one of the best albums from the 90's

I only know one album by them and it's not that one. I like the other one though so I must try this

Quote from: Emphyrio on May 15, 2025, 07:49:06 PMI don't know the fella or his catalogue, and that's very tasty playing, but I've seen loadsa tasty players who can't write a decent song. I wouldn't listen to 45mins of that, for example.

I have a mate who plays bass like that and it's boring after 20 minutes

Quote from: Billy Yellin on May 07, 2025, 03:52:12 AMI can get past the granny drumming, but the whisper screams are atrocious.
The riffs are nice but the production is so flimsy.

Apparently he changed his legal name to Louis Cachet.
Daft as a brush.

The production is actually fucking shocking

Lads complaining about the production of a Burzum release is giving me a good giggle

Fair point lol.

Quote from: ochoill on May 13, 2025, 10:17:53 AMViolator is the best of the lot of these anyway.  Black Celebration also lethal to be fair.

I like Tears for Fears but haven't had an actual album on since my teens, only a best of.  Must go back to Songs today sure.

My only non-metal listening lately is the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack again, interspersed with a few tracks off the Evangelion OST.  They are both often in rotation but the good weather brings them right up the list.

Go listen to Songs. You'll be amazed
