    Kamelot

    Very interesting move for a band who no longer acknowledges any music from their first 4-5 albums (and barely recognizes anything from albums that didn't come out in the last 15 years). Cool that they're doing this (I assume some rights may have recently reverted?) but I won't be picking this...

    Songs which you feel can fit into other albums

    AMOLAD is basically, "hey guys that Paschendale song was pretty cool, let's write 6-7 of those!"

    Maidenfans Best Album of The Millennium: 2002 FINAL ROUND

    My dying eyes scream with pain! It's crazy, because even a mid-tier or filler song from Symphony X's golden era is still better than most other bands output and at least as good as the decent songs from early or latter day Symphony X albums. (I almost said "newer Symphony X albums" but that's...

    I'm just gonna keep quoting this to make sure it doesn't get buried.

    Yes, obviously.

    Conservatives as a whole did not used to be inherently bad people. Sure, I disagree with them on a ton of things and I think they are completely wrong on a lot of things. But we're not dealing with Conservatives anymore, we're dealing with MAGA. MAGA is a brain-rot, brain-dead cult. It has...

    Bayley-era Maiden vs. Martin-era Black Sabbath vs. Ripper-era Judas Priest?

    When it comes to Priest, though, “the songwriting” you’re referencing was Rob Halford. Ripper doesn’t write anything. Without Halford, the band is incapable of writing “classic Priest” songs because Halford is what makes Tipton and Downing’s music work.

    Yep! He’s the vocalist on their first and third albums.

    Maidenfans Best Album of The Millennium: 2002 FINAL ROUND

    Just Mikael Akerfeldt casually proving that he was the best extreme vocalist twice in the same year.

    Maidenfans Best Album of The Millennium: 2002 FINAL ROUND

    Nothing deserves to dethrone The Odyssey, but I’ll keep voting for Deliverance and Century Child. Blaze, though deserving of “attaboy” points, cannot come close to any of those three albums.

    BLACK SABBATH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME: #13 REVEALED

    It’s a sad day to be reflecting on such a poor album, but “it is what it is innit.” There is not a single great song here. I don’t think there’s even a single good song here.

    Bayley-era Maiden vs. Martin-era Black Sabbath vs. Ripper-era Judas Priest?

    Tony Martin stands head and shoulders above the other two in terms of vocal performance. He's easily the most talented. The Sabbath albums with Martin were mostly good-to-great, even if they will never be as memorable as the Ozzy or Dio material. Blaze still existed within Maiden, and Maiden...

    Ozzy Osbourne (1948-2025)

    There will never be another Ozzy. His voice is iconic, his persona is legendary, he helped build heavy metal. Rest In Peace, you maniac.

    Black Sabbath

    The man was an absolute legend. He'll never be my favorite vocalist, but he was (and will remain) the most famous metal vocalist to ever live. RIP.

    Maidenfans Best Album of The Millennium: 2002 FINAL ROUND

    Same here as far as nostalgia. Killing the Dragon was technically my Dio album, it just came out after I had heard all of his earlier material. I remember the era and shows fondly, but I just don’t think the material holds up. I actually really like Magica. It’s definitely bloated and silly...
