Hmm, this thread isn't showing up in General Discussion.

https://www.wsj.com/politics/justice-department-told-trump-name-in-epstein-files-727a8038 WSJ reporting Trump was named in the Epstein files, and his DOJ informed him in May that he was in the files.

I basically agree with all of that re: Paradise Lost and Underworld, which are really consistent and enjoyable albums, but nothing that gets close to The Odyssey itself on it.

I didn't even know it was Akerfeldt.

Finally got around to listening to the Bloodbath album and boy did I really like that one. Just gonna take a moment here to shout out @Magnus and @Night Prowler for helping me to appreciate more extreme vocals a little more than I once did. Definitely a lot to like here.

His voice is, for so many, the sound of heavy metal. How many times has War Pigs, Paranoid, Crazy Train, or Iron Man shown up in culture? If he and Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler and Bill Ward had never met, would we even be here, talking? So long, Ozzy. Thanks. Thanks for everything.

Oh, I'm not worried. I always have fun.

Here we go around in circles again. It's okay to be disappointed if a gig wasn't up to one's expectations, but we do not need to relitigate Aces High constantly. Nobody's mind is going to be changed, least of all anyone involved with Iron Maiden. I am reserving judgement but I am certainly not...

I never liked the music much. Too happy, very similar to how I feel about the music in Gates of Tomorrow. There's some rough stuff in there.

Earth I guess

An easy vote for Testament, a less easy, but not too hard, vote for Sabbat. I'm not the biggest lover of Sabbat but Kreator does not work for me at all.

Definitely going to vote to staple The Odyssey to the top of the list. Other selections: Blind Guardian, Pain of Salvation, Rhapsody, Opeth.

Nah, you're just 40 and surrounded by people the same age.

You're certainly allowed to make fun of various public figures if you see fit, as long as it's not driving the conversation down a rabbit hole of yelling back and forth, or in the case of Iron Maiden, going to make a moderator invoke the RLonger rule for lessening overall enjoyment. However...

I had to listen, but I got in a vote.
