Giving 72 Seasons a full play through right now.

3 songs in, not sure if there’s anything bar their Lou Reed collab that I hate more than the start of Screaming Suicide.


Update: this album is fucking shit

The more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. But there's still so much I hate about it. Mainly the lyrics...

"Keep me inside, my name is suicide.."

"So tight. This crown. So tight. This crown. So tight this crownnn"

"If darkness had a son, here I am. I bath in Holy Water"

Not to mention that some tracks are just plain stupid. Lux Aeterna. The term means "Eternal Light" and is reference to God. So why is he singing about driving really fast in a "I want another Fuel" track. Or Crown of Barbed Wire, because Crown of Thorns has been done too many times.

I'm legit one of those metallica fans who love everything they release
With exception to Lu Lu
But this new album,
Seriously not drawing me it at all.
You must burn is heavy and I like that,
I do like lux eterna

Everything else I'll have to listen to bit more I think.

Yeah, struggling to get excited about this album

I listened to the album again
In the car, has a small trip so gave it another go.
I'm not minding it.
It has grown on me after a second listen.

I was thinking,
I think I'm old and stuck in my ways now.

Been plenty of albums from cool bands released last 10 to 20 years.

I tend to struggle to get excited and embrace new albums like I use to back in the day.

Knotfest Brisbane was insane.

Feel for Winston from Parkway Drive who blew his voice after 3 songs but kept going and completed the set!!
They should have got their fat mate Chode to jump on stage like he did in Europe all those years ago at 27.57
