It’s always been difficult for me to pick favorites with some bands - Maiden being one of them. But honestly I think they might be my top two as well.

Spot on. Three of my top Tool tunes are The Grudge, Parabola, and the title track, while Schism and The Patient are nearly perfect in my book. I even like Ticks & Leeches as an anti-screamer guy (that chorus is excellent). I can understand the dislike for Tool’s earlier more immature sound, but...

I’d argue that Brave New World is just as consistent, but every other album has at least one dud in my book.

The music is solid fun metal, but I can’t take the vocals, bro. Lateralus and the albums Tool has done since are not “bro prog,” brah. I’d call a lot of the pre-Lateralus stuff (like the track Ænema) bro prog, but the only pre-Lateralus song that I really like (46 & 2) is not bro prog, let...

I’d love to see the Jays win the AL East. Anyone but the Yanks or Red Sox, honestly. I like the Rays, too. How about Schwarbs? Getting rid of him was one of the Cubs’ biggest mistakes ever.

Just listened to Toxicity in full for the first time ever. Wow, it is exactly what I thought it would be. Incredible Songs: N/A Great Songs: N/A Bad Songs: Prison Song, Needles, Deer Dance, Jet Pilot, X, Chop Suey!, Bounce, Forest, ATWA, Science, Shimmy, Toxicity, Psycho, Aerials, Arto I’ll...

That’s my biggest fear!

I can agree with this.

@bearfan Agreed on everything. I’d like to see Eugenio Suárez at the hot corner but I’m not sure that Arizona will be selling. I’m a big fan of Shaw’s defense but he needs a trip down to AAA to work on his hitting. As for pitching, I’m hoping they don’t sell the farm to get a mediocre...

Blackwater Park and Lateralus deserve to be atop this list. Karma and Horror Show are good, but they can’t touch these two.

Who’s watching the ASG? I’ve never really cared about the home run derby in general, but especially since that year that Harper cheated his way past former Cub great (and current Harper teammate) Schwarber, but I’m happy Raleigh won. Dude is impressive. I’m happy my boy PCA made the ASG, and...

AMOLAD is all killer no filler (ok, mostly killer, but definitely no filler). SSOASS is great, but Prophecy is weak and I’ve always thought CIPWM is too happy. They’re both among Maiden’s best, though. Obviously.

Lol, there’s so many obnoxious demons in that game, with carcasses probably being at the top of the list (saying nothing of the damn arch viles). That first DLC has some outstanding level design, though. The feel of each level is so unique. Best of luck. You have far more patience than I do!

Got the System Shock 2 remaster and am quite excited to dive into it this weekend. Played the remake of the original last year and loved it. @JudasMyGuide Doom Eternal’s DLC is hard, even on the easiest difficulty level. Having to kill those booster demons with the plasma rifle’s microwave...

Very much agreed. I find the vast majority of the album to be incredibly generic, which was a huge letdown coming off of one of the band’s finest in Train of Thought. Even as a bass player I find Panic Attack to be as dull as dishwater, and the first four minutes of the title track didn’t need...

Killers by far, but if we’re talking just the ‘80s Bruce albums I’d go with Number. Massively overrated record.

LOL. I’m truly at a loss for words.

They’ve played it live recently?

My mistake, I misunderstood. Interesting that you mention 2x4, as I listened to Load remastered last week after not hearing the album for some time and have had that song in my head at random times. It was never one of my favorites back in the day, but there are a lot of other really catchy...

@karljant There’s quite a few tracks in there that I highly doubt the band would select for a “best of.” These include, among others, FFWF, Leper Messiah, Shortest Straw, Dyers Eve, The Struggle Within, Dream No More, TWJYL, and anything from St. Anger. Lots of good tracks there, but most are...
