Not gonna listen as I want to listen to the whole album in a couple of days, but ...




I am not sure we can be friends now Hacky.

Their first 2 albums are some of the best albums ever. I hate the stupid covers album though.

I have very high hopes for Eat the Elephant... don't let me down Maynard.
Yeah. I definitely get the attraction to APC but every time I listen to them I just end up listening to tool instead

I got through Eat the Elephant today, it is going to take a long time to digest me thinks. Sounded pretty good on first listen though.

New Pennywise came out too, gave that a spin and more solid stuff from them. Nothing new, if you like their old stuff you will enjoy this.

After a few more listens, really liking "Welcome to Bonkers" by Nekrogoblikon. It definitely grows on you.

If Triviums latest album is a 10/10 (in my opinion), this would have to be an 8.5/10.

New Tesseract album is out today too but for some reason they've blocked it from every streaming service for Australians.

I'm 2 listens in. Godamn I've missed apc. This album is definitely different but is fucking solid. I suspect it'll take quite a few listed to really take it all in

Had a good listen through Eat the Elephant. As I said before, never been much of an APC fan. Their music just never sat well for me. But this album is like sex. Friggin good album.

Ooooo didn't realise that Alice in Chains have another due sometimes this year. Mixing has been completed.


The shift at 2:10 is beautiful... and again at 2:54

@Mitch Connor as a guitarist you should enjoy this one...

His album Fearless is due to drop any day now...

...

On another note... put aside 12 minutes... crank the volume, and enjoy....

I've always loved Amorphis but I don't think I like this. The music starts well but then it just gets boring and sounds nothing like Amorphis.

It's a little odd 'cause Batmetal is made by the Metalocalypse guys. The guys that invented Dethklok. The songs they sing are actually Dethklok songs and Dethklok have played many live shows over the years
