I like their first two albums. Minutes to Midnight has some decent rock tracks on it but weak album overall. Can't agree about the comment on Meteora, very similar style, yes, but it wasn't that derivative. There's no Breaking the Habit, Nobody's Listening or Session on Hybrid Theory. The debut...

Linkin Park is too good to be grouped alongside BFMV and Papa Roach. The only nu metal band I find worth listening, despite the occasional cringeworthy, angsty moment.

I like it as well. Quarters may be pushing it, but I could see UEFA exploring with a Semis & Final at a neutral venue format a la FA Cup. What Lyon has done is very impressive - great youth academy there. I am upset about Houssem Aouar, who has been #1 in my wish list for Arsenal for a long...

I'm just an avid archiver. I've always loved archiving/recording stuff, it's not just music. Since music is probaby my biggest passion in life, it just translates into record collecting. I actually don't even have a record player at the moment.

It's a cooler collector's item, bigger artwork and all. It also has a different procedure of listening, which gives it a niche appeal. Pretty much all younger vinyl collectors I know listen to music mainly on digital. It's not either/or, it's both.

What I'm glad about is that streaming services have provided a non-piracy alternative for discovering and listening to music. I still download albums that are not available on streaming services, but other than that all but phased out the illegal downloads - which I feel good about from an...

Frost & Christy

It'll be curious to see how far it goes. That being said, it's not even the strongest Death album, Symbolic would probably take it out if they were to match up.

Not at all surprised about it, having kept up with the form of the two teams after the lockdown. Told friends before the game that Barcelona were in for an embarrassing result. Barcelona never stood a change against an incredibly athletic, high pressing Bayern side on insane form with their lack...

Katatonia - Brave Murder Day - I nominated this one as it ranks in my current all-time Top 50. Great album from start to finish. Hadn't heard Power Trip before, they have a killer guitar sound and do a throwback crossover thrash that isn't overproduced like many recent metal albums are. I'll...

Why the rolling eyes? That is what he says in the video you posted.

He says "This is a song written by Mr. Harris over there, makes Ben-Hur look like an epic".

No problem with your other critiques, but this is a weird one. Their styles are completely different. Katatonia is death-doom with goth elements, repetition is part of the deal.

PSG is the only team that I truly dislike in that group and would actively cheer against. Not because of the club itself or the players, in fact they have two of my favorite players in the game (Verratti and Mbappé) on their squad, but because of the Qatari regime that funds them. It's...

Al Di Meola is probably one of my Top 5 guitarists, at least close to that. Massive influence on my own guitar playing as well, probably more influential than anyone else. I'm probably about 5% as good as he is, but still. :D Elegant Gypsy is my favorite album from him.

I vehemently disagree with that, I think a "concrete system of ethics", in this sense, is a flawed premise that only religious people think is relevant or necessary to reach moral conclusions in a consistent manner - and for me, what you call "arbitrary choosing" is only "arbitrary" because it...

Not really, there's plenty of discussion in scientific circles about the ethics of implementing certain scientific procedures we are already capable of and it's not tied to religion at all. It's not something that'll just go away.

Iron Maiden - Dance of Death - Not a Top 10 Maiden album, but its top shelf material are enough to push over the edge here. Coroner - Punishment for Decadence - Pretty much a win by default. The sound is more up my alley than the silly cheesefest it goes up against. Dark Angel - Darkness...

Scarred is an example of prog section-switching done right, imo. My favorite song from them.

My liking of Metropolis Pt. 1 gradually decreased as years went on. I guess there was an element of novelty that I appreciated in my earlier years as a DT fan that just wasn't there anymore after further exposure to the genre. I still like it, but I don't have it in the upper echelon of DT...
