This is pretty much exactly how I feel, as well. I've been listening to Orchid over the last few days (although I was shocked to see that the 11th place album wasn't In Cauda Venenum), and the overall experience is enjoyable. The mix isn't great, but generally I can look past that considering...

I like Elon, but I am not a fan of him doing this. However, you seem to ignore Kamala bribing black men with forgivable business loans in order to "buy" their vote. The latter is far worse, since it's the candidate doing it herself, and it's also undeniably racist. Most conservatives could care...

I plan on it this weekend, but I have a very busy week and have no time to launch a 20-paragraph initiative right now. You’re correct about the left going too far. The average US citizen is sick of it, and Trump is a no-nonsense way out of it. Even I was skeptical of Trump in 2016, but four...

This is absolutely true, and it’s a diagnosed disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Many liberals, and (worse) leftists suffer from TDS, but unfortunately, without massive clinical intervention, there is no cure. The patient needs to want to help themself, and once TDS has...

My comments were not directed at anyone on this board, but rather are due to opinions that I've heard from various leftists over the years. I am open for debate as well, as I know many people have concerns and arguments regarding Trump. Believe me, I have just as many regarding Harris and her...

There is nothing moronic about Joe Rogan; he’s incredibly common sense. As for Trump, he’s obviously not a Nazi or a fascist, but the Democratic Party (and the media they’ve corrupted) will say anything to prevent him from being elected. Hell, they’ve even tried to take him out twice already...

Ah, Sorceress. Everyone seems to crap on this album, but I enjoy it far more than Heritage and even more than In a Cauda Venenum, baby. It isn’t as consistent as Heritage, but the high points are much stronger. The album definitely has an identity, which makes sense after all because it’s Mikael...

Let me say that Opeth has no straight-up bad albums. Are the Nupeth ones weaker than the classics? Almost exclusively, yes. But none of them suck. None of them are St. Anger. I ranked Heritage as the weakest of Opeth’s “observations,” but after re-listening to it, there’s not one moment that I...

I understand this, too. LaBrie is fine on most of the albums but his live “performances” are headache inducing. They could pull some rando off the street who would do a better job.

I think the majority of DT fans go the shows to see the instrumentalists, thus there’s no point to replace LaBrie since most fans don’t even notice he’s there. Personally I tune him out.

On Friday I'm finally going to pull the trigger on getting a PS5. I've been an Xbox guy for three console generations, but there's too many amazing exclusives on PS that I just can't pass up. The Silent Hill 2 Remake is at the top of the list, but both The Last of Us games are up there, too...

LOL

I do like some of their newer stuff. The Sky is Red is great, and The Weight of Disaster may have one of the catchiest choruses I’ve ever heard. What of their older stuff have you heard?

Does anyone else have the urge to hear Beastie Boys cover Master’s Apprentices, and for an Opeth rendition of Sabotage? Those are my favorites this round. The former is my favorite tune from Deliverance, and the latter is my top Beastie Boys track (of the five I’ve heard).

Only one song from Bilateral is criminal, but I’m glad it was Forced Entry. Maybe I’m in the minority but I really liked their first few albums and haven’t loved the direction they’ve gone in since. Glad you had fun. How is their latest album?

This is my semi-realistic* Symphony X set: 01. Underworld 02. Domination 03. Church of the Machine 04. Heretic 05. Rediscovery 06. Kiss of Fire 07. Reign in Madness 08. Accolade II 09. The Walls of Babylon 10. King of Terrors 11. Legend 12. The Divine Wings of Tragedy *A set that actually has...

I do remember actually digging some of Agalloch’s stuff. Gotta give them another listen this winter.

Nah just that tour. They simply think their newer stuff is better. I mean, they’re wrong, but no one’s perfect.

I remember back in 2004 when @MrKnickerbocker and I saw Symphony X open for Queensryche (should have been the other way around). It was the first show on the tour and the only show that they played Church of the Machine. Don’t know if Queensryche played Deliverance; don’t care. We left after the...

This may have been the easiest round ever.
