Has Dino lost weight? He's not quite a fat bastard as he was.

First listen and yeah definitely agree that you'd miss Hinds but not to the extent to say the band has nothing left in the tank without him. Far from it. It's good, but I can't put my finger on what it is telling me I probably won't return to it all too much if at all. Same with their last few. I don't think Troy Sanders is able to write a memorable vocal hook at all anymore and his cleaner style he's switched to (prob out of necessity) in later albums kinda grates on me.

All they accomplished with the first four albums just won't ever be topped for me. All that I could want really from the band when I need my fix.

Naysaying aside there is definitely some whopper riffs and sections throughout. Proggy keyboards are a cool addition.

Kids called our cat Bandit as he was a Siamese (looked like he had a ski mask and black gloves), so when we found a cat earlier in the year we called her Smokey of course...

Anyway we watched The Sheep Detectives last night and really enjoyed it. Some cast behind that in fairness. We wanted to hear more of "Roy Kent" from Ted Lasso voicing the ram twins, but it was great hearing plenty of Chris O'Dowd on it.

Quote from: ochoill on August 29, 2026, 09:22:46 AMI got three songs in and it was grand but it didn't grab me yet, will try it again over the weekend.

The back half of the album is better TBH.

Smokey and the Bandit

Hadn't seen this since childhood and forgot how enjoyable it is. The whole cast are just hugely likeable, and look like they're having a lot of fun making it. It also got me into Jerry Reed as a side-bonus.

Jesus that's fucking depraved stuff altogether. Is that actually what they're promoting seriously?

Quote from: Black Shepherd Carnage on August 28, 2026, 11:23:28 AMStrolling past Golden Discs in Cork this morning, saw they had a 3 for €70 sale on vinyl

Check out Bunker Vinyl and 33RPM, if you're faffing about the city

Cheers man. That had been the original plan, recommended by Snare, but in the end I only had about an hour to meself in the morning and neither were open yet. Hopefully be back soon, as the fam had a blast in the city.
