They'd be better if they did the harsh less and the clean vocals more. My closest comparison would be Seven Spires; I adore their clean songs but the moment she starts screaming it ruins the whole thing.

There are some good bands who use harsh vocals, but none who wouldn't be improved by having an actual singer. That's my take on this.

Fixed it for you. ;)

Wrong, it's actually Abstainkiller!

Match 73 - Poison - Talk Dirty To Me This is just a bop, simple as. I don't know what song the rest of you have been listening to! Match 74 - I'm abstaining here, as I don't massively like either band and don't have time to give both tracks a proper listen. Match 75 - Life of Agony - This...

I thought I was one of the culprits of this, but turns out I massively misremembered and still only ranked it 14th. Very underrated album, fun if not ground-breaking throughout and I'll never understand why it's the album more commonly chosen as a stick with which to beat the Blaze era.

Come on everyone, let's make it The Ex-Factor.

Match 67 - Ratt - Lay It Down Match 68 - Avantasia - The Seven Angels Match 69 - Primordial - Heathen Tribes Match 70 - Metallica - The Unforgiven Match 71 - Symphony X - Through The Looking Glass Match 72 - Symphony X - Rediscovery Pt. II

I will continue this crusade until it's gone.

Match 61 - Megadeth - FFF Match 62 - W.A.S.P. - The Idol Match 63 - Megadeth - Wake Up Dead Match 64 - Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me Match 65 - The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again Match 66 - Megadeth - My Last Words No time for a write-up today. Megadeth is my favourite thrash band. See...

I need it - if I don't stick to it then I just hyperfocus on work.

I have not posted here in a week or two! As an update, I have stuck to my plans of maintaining at 30km/week so far. This consists of the following: Tue - 5km easy (~7:30/km pace) Wed - 5km easy (with 4x100m at ~4:15/km pace, this is my attempt at strides) Fri - 5km easy/tempo (running club at...

It's just a really boring album by Maiden's standards. That's it. Lifeless songs devoid of energy.

Voted for The X Factor and The X Factor alone because it's so much worse than all of the other albums it's unreal.

Ah, fair enough - they've just all appeared pretty early (with Victim of Changes presumably starting in Round 2).

Match 55 - Deep Purple - Hush I was excited to listen to a new Deep Purple song but I've definitely heard this one somewhere before and never realised it was them. Fantastic song, thanks for the earworm. I'm a big fan of the Van Halen song too but this wasn't a contest. Match 56 - Black...

Match 1 - Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife This song came out slap bang in the middle of my teens and I've always considered it a (relatively) iconic song from that time. Buckethead is perfectly enjoyable too, but ultimately I want something I can sing along to. Match 2 - Megadeth - The Conjuring...

Song 37 - Thin Lizzy - Rosin Dubh Neither of these songs clicked with me initially, but I found myself enjoying Thin Lizzy more moving into the second half of the song. Song 38 - Firewind - Hate World Hero It's cheesy, it's bombastic, but that's why I nominated it: these are the qualities I...

Match 31 - System of a Down - Hypnotize I imagine a lot of people here dislike Linkin Park but I don't have strong feelings against them. Their top few songs are genuine bangers but Faint isn't one of those for me. I think SOAD have done better than Hypnotize as well, to be fair, but it's...

Looks like we're twins this round!
