    on the flip, Evangelicals in swing states such as Colorado (Colorado Springs has a healthy Evangelical population) and Pennsylvania could use this passing to inspire off again/on again lapsed voters to rush to the polls in the hopes of limiting the scope of Roe.

    The Fallen Angel

    love the many flashbacks to Killers throughout this steely, fleeting gem of a banger. The Fallen Angel seemed filler-ish upon first listen, but as time went by its stature grew - as it stands nearly 20 years since my first listen, its placement is perfect (between the many epics on the album)...

    Fear of the Dark: individual album judgement by yours truly

    Be Quick or be Dead A heavy as all get out drum bash intro leads right into a classic Killers-era twin guitar progression - right off the bat, the listener knows that FOTD will be a more metallic and tr00 slab of songs than NPFTD 9/10 From Here to Eternity the pace is brought down a bit...

    Polling is pointing to that fact that the the traditional "Blue Wall" will in fact hold (the fluke states that Trump got in 2016 - namely, PA, Michigan, and Wisconsin). That being said, if EITHER Wisconsin or Michigan remain red (and the rest of this map remains the same), we now have a 269-269...

    Social media poll

    I follow bands on Facebook and Twitter after reading reviews at Sputnik and Metal Archives/Encyclopedia Metallum -- many reviewers namedrop bands within their reviews, and I've found several good newer metal bands through visiting the Sputnik and Metal Archives boards/forums.

    how does everyone feel about the talking point which claims that voters who lack college degrees are under-polled, thus giving Biden an advantage in polls? another talking point I've been seeing lately states that polls aren't as reliable as they used to be since people don't answer their...

    The X Factor Awards

    Best song: Fortunes of War Worst song: The Aftermath Surprisingly good song: "Look For The Truth" Most disappointing song: The Unbeliever (while I love it, it feels underdeveloped in parts-its plays as a rocker while its screaming to be an anthem) Best moment: Heavy riffing throughout "Blood...

    The Genesis of Somewhere in Time

    Bruce is right on the money with the vocals being "bluesy" on Somewhere in Time - I've always felt his voice progressed by leaps and bounds, coupled with a higher emphasis on feel and emotional resonance - on the SIT album

    Blood on the World's Hands

    just listened to BOTWH right after The Aftermath - while i might like individual sections of The Aftermath more (the "after the war, what does a soldier become?" section along with the guitar solos) - I was left with the feeling that Blood makes a greater statement of purpose and is a better...
