Yeah I have to admit I'm not thrilled by the screen-first strategy but I'll give it a shake live

I mean, I firmly believe Blackwater Park belongs on the top of this list, and I intend to vote with that in mind.

I would say that if you truly don't think a band has the chops anymore, then simply don't go. But don't expect everyone else to not enjoy themselves because it's something you'd not enjoy. That's why I was really relieved when Nicko hung 'em up, because it was clear he was at that point. Other...

This is the greatest post that has ever been made on this website. Some people simply do not want to be happy that their favourite band is still playing in 2025 when everyone feared the band was going to disintegrate in 1998.

Yeah, I was just reading this. By far the largest trading partner with Russia is China, so Trump may be going back to sky high tariffs on Russia if there's no TACO involved. The next two largest trading partners are Germany and the Netherlands. I'm not sure this is a good plan, folks.

When Karma moves to the top it is going to be interesting.

100% tariffs on almost zero trade! Oh no!

I gotchu

It will be interesting to see what he does, and then it will be interesting to see how much of the "major announcement" is actually something Trump can wiggle out of down the road.

I'll be deleting any further posts down this unnecessary side conversation.

We don't truly need to play this game. So let's just maybe move on from that part of the discussion.

I think I've started to come around to NPFTD a bit, but there's still a collection of all time bad songs (Tailgunner, The Assassin, Hooks in You). While I find Mother of Mercy and The Man Who Would Be King subpar from TFF, and I would easily list Where the Wild Wind Blows as my least favourite...

This is about words in the title, and has nothing to do with the lyrics of the songs at all, though. I find this highly specious as a comparison arc, especially since we explicitly know the inspiration for Tears of a Clown, which has nothing to do with Stephen King's It, nor evil in any fashion...

Both of these albums have weaker back halves, so for me, it is a matter of which one I find weaker, and that is POM. There's some nostalgia in there as I'm nostalgia for BNW in a way I cannot be for POM.

They quite aggressively toured BNW for what it was, playing rather a lot of songs off that album, plus The Clansman and Sign of the Cross. They toured six songs off the new album, then two long songs off the Blaze-era albums. And while we consider Sign of the Cross and The Clansman stone cold...

Opeth - Blackwater Park

Trump has announced the delivery of Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, which is the first big arms transfer of Trump 2.0 (if it happens, let us never forget TACO). I would expect that this is likely because he has finally gotten tired of Putin promising to work for a ceasefire and then...

You just make a poll, that's how you keep people interested.

I am mostly fine with 13 being where it is. I tend to rank some of the weirder Sabbath albums a little bit better than most, but 13 is too often a parody, a shell of what made Sabbath great. I expect what ended up happening was most people found it to be a low end album, but most of the ones...
