11 Live After Death +3 5 Fear of the Dark +2 5 Brave New World +1 3"The Wicker Man" [alt. picture disc] 0 Best of the Beast 0 "Different World" [digital] Unlike our host, I have zero difficulty picking these. I find LAD the only totally Tippity Top All Time Classic in this round. Possibly my...

Ooooh, this surprises me. I was a fan since the late 80s and well remember BNW comin out bit I wasn't active on the scene or online so I didn't hear much about the reception of the album beyond the reviews. So yah, colour my surprised as fuck to read this. I think it sounds delicious and have...

Seems mostly the 2026 tour thread but randomly on some others

You wish!

Hmmmm all the text in some threads has gone bold. Just me? Anyone know how to fix it?

Definitely some decent songs on Silver Side Up but that's the only album of theirs I ever listened to. Anyway, as for the OP. Grounds For Divorce by Elbow. Such a tune. I can not stand anything else I've ever heard from them. I got 4 free tickets to see them live once. All 4 of us only...

Shots fired!

Motorcycle Emptiness always kinda annoyed me. Its catchy, it hooks me, I bop along but it annoys me. There's a few songs like that in my life

As per The Concert Thread, I listened to some Manics this mornin. Went with Generation Terrorists. So the Manics aren't entirely new to me, I'm aware of many of their big singles and my brother had a couple of albums when we was growin up, pretty much everything up until This Is My Truth. So I...

Can't remember exactly but I'll check the magazine when I'm home in 8 or 9hrs unless anyone else does it before me. If memory serves its unequivocal. Like "I wanted to do it but Bruce wasn't up for it."

Uh oh, now if I don't like em I'll be forever branded a basic bitch:nana: Anyway, last gig was local Irish Tradtronica outfit Huartan. Seen em a few times, always good. A combination of ancient melodies, Irish language, beats, dance, pagan vibes, deeply anti-colonial sentiments. Good stuff...

Fuck sake, just checked and that show is coming to Belfast but it's sold out, woest me! I've never listened to the Manics but the way you gush over em makes me wanna check em out. Stay tuned, baby!

Sooo this is in the new official book and contradicts the official line of the last 45yrs? Or does it? Any date for the letter in the book? Maybe Paul and Maiden were both coming to the same conclusion at the same time for different reasons. I must have a look at Run To The Hills and Luisimas...

Word. Seeing that took me down a rabbit hole of weird Polish art, so I thank the nominators for that

@Brigantium why the angry emoji? I'll add that I don't condone atrocities on either side in my country, including those committed by the IRA.

Two good finalists. I don't know my album covers well enough to notice what's missing, to have any grievance but I wouldn't have been surprised to see an Opeth or Megadeth cover in the final. Those cats have some good, albeit very different art.

MATCH 1 8 Mastodon - Leviathan 5 Dio - Holy Diver +1 MATCH 2 7 Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper +1 6 Vektor - Terminal Redux Leviathan is an attempt at a finer thing but I think it fails. There's nice touches in there but the boat is shitty, seems half assed, so it loses out for that. Holy Diver...

They have used this tactic at home in Ireland too. They ask nationalist politicians to denounce IRA crimes of the past, the politicians can not do this and so that becomes the whole story. They use it as a way of suppressing the nationalist voice, they waste all their air time wrapped up in the...

Israel more tolerant of Palestine after 2yrs of the recent genocide and the previous 70yrs? Sounds fanciful to me but here's hoping. Imagine one nation being tolerant of their neighbours right to exist. Go Israel. Delplorable actions from Hamas. But this seems a false equivalence. I haven't...

It sounds as if you think that the Israeli state was happy for Palestine and Palestinians to exist pre October 7th 2023. They were not. And they will not be going forward. Trump seems to have achieved something here but at what cost? I'm sure we will find out. The mans a fucking ghoul. His...
