    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 43-48

    You listen to Purple Haze for the riff, as a song War Pigs is far more consistent. Symphony of Destruction really does have a very memorable riff and great melodies, but those are things present in a lot of Megadeth songs, here they're just in a pop package. Smoke and Mirrors has all the...

    I definitely could've, but, not kosher.

    Step 1: watch a horror movie (Midsommar) at a friend's house late at night. Step 2: watch an episode of Adventure Time for relief. Step 3 a boar tries to charge me when I get to ground floor Step 4: watch another episode of Adventure Time.

    Now that's a statement and a half, I'll be happy if it's just half as good as Firepower!

    Tenth Dimension is king, but the Infinite Entanglement trilogy is his most consistently awesome work. This and Together We Can Move the Sun are on the level of Stare at the Sun.

    Now Playing (Video Games)

    I'm addicted to Balatro, if anyone here played Slay the Spire it's quite similar. You play poker hands to get enough points to pass the level, and buy stuff in the shop to power-up your deck. You win after 8 "antes", you lose because you the boss "just so happens" to debuff clubs when that's...

    Bruce Dickinson

    The verses in the first 2-3 minutes of Sonata sound very Chemical Wedding (song) to me. Dissonant arpeggios and whatnot. The song itself kind of drags and becomes a jamming session, though. Definitely love this album on my first listen!

    Tanelorn, Ride and Voice are great but they feel samey on the album. Sacred Worlds and Curse My Name I agree. The production doesn't help much either, but that's a problem with all their post-Nightfall albums except the latest one...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 43-48

    I overplayed Ride into Obsession to death in January last year. It's still my most played song on last.fm by a wide margin. Wheel of Time itself took a lot of listens to grow on me. But I agree that the album is very meh. Road of no Release is interesting but ultimately a fail, War of the...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 43-48

    Nightfall is pretty great, I especially love the drums amping up each chorus. Some very pretty countermelodies between Hansi and the lead instruments. That said, Alien Ant Farm's cover is still surprisingly energetic and original, and this was closer than I expected. It's simple. I Am the Black...

    I know Anne Bakker is the violinist, maybe it's her?

    Yes, I was talking about the rant. I thought you were agreeing with MKB's statement which read to me as accusing the silent folks of giving no effort into their votes (and this we can't know). Hey, no offense meant, neither to you nor MKB despite the toxicity in my last paragraph. And none...

    Judas, Mrknickerbocker I really don't understand why you're so sure you know why people vote. Like no5 said, we're only a handful of individuals. Just because 50% of the general population is stupid doesn't mean 50% of this forum is stupid. In the end this is about getting exposed to music...

    Do MaidenFans Rinse After Brushing Their Teeth?

    Supposedly the saliva takes care of that. Still - gross, and probably not worth the side effect of swallowing it. :S

    Do MaidenFans Rinse After Brushing Their Teeth?

    I was going to ask what method you use to get the water in your mouth, but it appears not everybody does that! Huh, I never questioned it.

    Blaze Bayley

    Gave a listen, this is a massive improvement from WWM imo. A lot of the songs (The Year Beyond This Year, Ghost in the Bottle, A Day of Reckoning...) have an edge I didn't feel in that album. Blaze's performance is great, but still way too much autotune. The Broken Man... Ugh, that's a King of...
