Wait, so what the hell were you actually doing? :lol: Yeah, that was part of the culture clash. Imagine the most hot-tempered work driven tester suddenly having this quiet Ashkenazi that doesn't respond to anything and can barely hold a screwdriver under his command. It was hell at the...

Hmm, it wasn't a particularly hot topic for me either. I don't remember any metalheads other than one guy who liked Dio, and another from a base in the west bank I was in for a good amount of my service. My musical contribution didn't go beyond putting Devin Townsend's ambient album The Hummer...

Ranking the bottom half was hardest. H/N was going to be #6 or #7, but at the last minute I had an epiphany: I don't give two shits about almost anything here. Noise is a powerhouse, the lone great song here. The songs all have their schticks. But like @Confeos said, it's pedestrian. Cool rhythm...

I just watched Tarkovsky's "Stalker" with two friends. Already watched it once before, it's on YouTube with English subtitles. Wonderful movie, but I'm here to tell you about the uncanny parallel between being a second-time watcher guiding and providing answers to two friends who don't fully...

I know Never Enough, what's the second one?

I Like Needled 24/7 a lot, but it's Breaking the Law this time. Always Octavarium. Ghost Hammer is fantastic. Difficult one, Epic wins for style points. Going Home is a good metal track, while Solitude is quintessential. Crazy Train ain't bad, though I've heard better bridges. Easy Livin'...

I went chronologically in my little marathon, so Angels had a little head start. As I listened more it kept falling through the ranks and ended up at #8. The production hurts a lot and while Tuomas singing is cute (and he sounds pretty okay in his solo parts like the verse of The Carpenter), it...

Metal isn't a very grounded genre, lots of screams and growls and shrikes at high tempos about nerdy or dudebro stuff, so most of it can be considered cheese. But it's all relative, I don't feel any cheese-induced discomfort when listening to Maiden or Savatage or even Blind Guardian for that...

EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! EH! Eh! AH! AH! AH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAA! Listen, they're on the lower end of the cheese spectrum, but if you show this to Joe from the burekas stand there's a chance he'll twist...

This is just awful man, so sorry you're going through this. I was hoping you aren't as active for nothing reasons and things have gotten better, but life can be cruel I see. Wish you power to navigate this mess

It's gonna take more than this to make me vote against Through the Looking Glass, but it's close. Davidian is good enough for a pity vote. Eyes of a Stranger is great but not my favourite from O:M. Templars of Steel is catchy enough, but I don't care for it much. Rock You Like a Hurricane...

Convinced my younger sister to watch Fellowship of the Ring, she said she wanted fantasy. Somehow she didn't hear me saying it's a trilogy and was surprised when the movie ended without resolution. It takes like an hour to leave the Shire and you think in 30 minutes we're making the entire...

But how does it work? Do they take turns pissing while the others cheer? Like I get going together but not TO THE SAME STOOL!

So I'm at a wedding, waiting to get in the restrooms, then the door opens and three dudes come out. Wtf

Wow, what a great round. Tyrant mostly because of familiarity bias. I love Kickstart My Heart but it's hard to beat Heaven and Hell. Repeat DJ James and Mosh about Transylvanian Hunger. I definitely wasn't particularly big on Global Warming but it really clicked today. Still, Caught in a Mosh is...

Blaze is an absolute beast on this song!

Wow, Painkiller being top 3 on every list is crazy. I mean, I've never seen complaints about it with more meat than calling it overrated or cheesy (which I have to agree with regarding Leather Rebel and Metal Meltdown). I'd probably have it at #1 too. Night Crawler, A Touch of Evil and One Shot...

The Mob Rules is a lot more sophisticated and has the better solo and singer, but I'll throw a bone to Kyuss, they have a sweet tone and catchy chorus. I'm trying hard to drown my irrational hatred for Savatage and their quirks. This song is good and has a clear sound, even if the chords and...

The Final Countdown is a classic that never gets old, Love You to Death good too. Astronomy is incredible, don't care for this Motley Crue song. There are 176 You Suffers in one Freewheel Burning. I don't like Freewheel Burning 176 times as much as You Suffer. What's Obama got to do with this...
