Gotta say that’s the first time I’ve read this particular criticism of the album. Most seem to think DOD sounds muddy as hell, and the games they had to play with the remaster seem to bear that out…

Peart was one for the ages, clearly. Irreplaceable. That said, I’ve been getting my Peart itch scratched lately by Mark Zonder (Warlord, Fates Warning), who manages to embody parts of Rush’s mid-80s style pretty well (along with a heaping helping of Journey) with his A-Z project with Ray...

Reread the messages and it will be clear that your stated point of view here is cherry-picked, and I already answered your questions fully and explained my continued use of “CCP”. I will not waste the time looking up the link for you.

Because you desperately want to be seen as some kind of counter-culture intellectual who can “read between the lines” and “see what’s really going on”, so you’re willing to put in enough effort to paint that picture at the 10,000 foot level, but not enough to actually back it up when it receives...

Got a chuckle out of this Blabbermouth article with Herman Rarebell patting himself on the back for his supposed lyric-writing ability: Rarebell also talked about the inspiration for the lyrics to "Rock You Like A Hurricane", which was released as the lead single from SCORPIONS' ninth studio...

Yes, anyone who hasn’t read 1984 yet absolutely should.

Fair enough, though it feels more just to target red states where possible. That’s true, and even the blue states have a ton of Trump voters in them, so you will still impact a lot of people who deserve it. But the entire situation is inherently shitty for all involved.

Unfortunate that out of that list, only Michigan and a fraction of Maine actually contributed to Trump’s election in the electoral college.

Mine’s about 1700 capacity.

Ditto for Minneapolis. Took balcony seats, didn’t feel like splurging for front row balcony though.

Saw Captain America: Brave New World last night, and despite mediocre reviews I think it was a solid film in the end. Interesting choices on which parts of MCU history it decided to latch itself onto, too. Will be interesting to see where they go with Thunderbolts*, especially given some of...

Haven’t heard the remaster yet, but “Blood On The World’s Hands”, “2 A.M.”, and “Sign Of The Cross” are still the only good-to-great songs on this album, IMO. Blaze’s vocal performance is mostly weak, the production is embarrassingly bad, and the songwriting is exceptionally poor in places...

https://blabbermouth.net/news/lynch-mob-is-working-on-new-studio-album-live-dvd Sounds like Lynch is intentionally pumping the brakes on his studio output because he feels like he’s retreading too much musical ground, which may be true. Surprised to read that another Lynch Mob studio album is...
