When the Wild Wind Blows

Aliveness update later :) Aliveness confirmed so far. Thanks for the fireworks show!

Anyone played Celeste? I got it in the summer and finally got around to playing it. I don't play platformers but I really like it, it feels very smooth. Great dialogue and phenomenal soundtrack!! I got most collectibles in the main game, I and did the first two extra levels. I'll see how close...

The eternal struggle: I want to eat the guava, but then I won't smell it anymore.

My father discovered what the screaming red face album is. Claims he's addicted. It's kind of funny to hear in the secure space but hey, I'm not arguing. Actually half a year ago my friend shared it with me too, which he rarely does. Talk about timelessness!

It had the same trajectory for me, most of side 1 did actually. I wonder how much time will still change the consensus opinion on it.

I'll spare the details, but if I'm still eating toasts after that sandwich from three weeks ago and the consequences of eating it, we'll stay in disagreement about food/song PTSD. :P

There's more "sludge" here than on Load, which I like, it has more identity. Unfortunately the weak songs are closer to "bad" than to Load's "yet another midtempo song". Better Than You, Carpe Diem Baby, and Bad Seed are the main offenders. Slither is not one of them, it was always my favourite...

I wanted to share how in some train stations here some speakers are detuned, so the pre-announcement jingle there is a dissonant mess, but more startling, I discovered the video genre of train rides and announcement recordings, so next time your view from the train is shit, RailfanRailway got...

Sorry, not a lot of time for a honest listening... (Couldn't resist No World Order on the train) Blind Guardian, though Kinslayer is awesome too. Sanctuary - I don't remember liking the other song very much + Warrel Dane bias. Solitude Aeturnus - I dug into some of their albums because of...

Probably top 3 for me too, with Changes and Tribute to the Past.

Great song and underrated album!

Hero of the Day, Bleeding Me, and The Outlaw Torn are stellar. Outlaw was my favourite Metallica song for a long time even and may still be. The rest of the album is plodding shades of meh, which does not work in its favor considering how long it is. It was a draining listening. I even found a...

Nah, I get you in a way (not the Iconoclast bit, you're insane :D). I don't feel the urge to hear it often too, despite how hooky it is. It doesn't try to touch the stars like the classic albums did and it's pretty forgettable as a result. You think of SX you think of ambitiousness, not...

This is the best SX album in my opinion. It doesn't really have an Odyssey or an Accolade, but every song is just extremely good. Pretty crazy comeback after the flop Iconoclast.

I kept having awful dreams all week, so after waking up in the middle of the night once again I thought "what the hell!" and slept on my left side for once. Then I dreamt I was cleaning a shed with my friends and there were a bunch of cool musical instruments there. One of them was like a...

Nothing encapsulates my thoughts on this album as well as the very start of it. The first 50 seconds of the title track literally - LITERALLY sound like me at my guitar trying too hard to come up with a riff. And the riff is... fine, this album is listenable, it's just incredibly lackluster. I...

Alright, I'm enjoying this Malmsteen track more this time, especially the neoclassicisms and the guitar squeals. Previously dismissed it as a vehicle for the solo IIRC. Big TMWWBK vibes from Nosferatu's intro. It's a good song overall but I'm not wowed. The guitars are a little too shiny...

We just watched What We Do in the Shadows, hilarious movie I think I'll seek the show too, looks like it's well-received.
