Zeppelin

It's a very competent record, of course. But it feels like I keep waiting for something that never actually happens. On a lot of the songs. Well, except 7empest, which is just in full gear the whole time. But songs like Invincible and Culling Voices feel like they should have something more to them. It feels like quite a meditative record, which is fine. And it's quite good in places. But it doesn't jump out at me as many times as I would like.

I'm all for hearing St. Anger songs. As long as they don't put Invisible Kid in there, I'm good.

Just saw Neko Case last week. Now I'm looking to go and see Screaming Females and then Jade Bird around the end of the year. Not much in between yet, but we'll have to see what comes up.

Love it. A lot of the tracks are just buttery smooth and I was glad to hear a little bit of that Bubblin flavour at the end of Winners Circle. Just a smooth as fuck, 40-minute, summer vibes album, which is perfect coming from .Paak. And I really enjoyed Oxnard. But this just seems more concise and flavourful.

Nadler is a wonderful artist.

The song is pretty bad... and are my headphones broken or is this the worst production they've had in a long time?

 

MGK is shit but it actually kinda makes sense that he's part of the song, since he's playing Tommy Lee in The Dirt.

I'm 200% sure it's not your headphones. The production is atrocious.

That might be one of the worst rock songs I've ever heard.

is Shiny & Oh So Bright Volume 2 even still gonna happen, considering how poorly Volume 1 sold?

Did their records before the reunion sell that well at all? I don't know the numbers. But I'd be surprised if Monuments or Oceania sold extremely well.

I've been listening to this record a lot lately. It's one of my favorites of last year.

The production is phenomenal, I feel like I'm in the same room as the amplifiers. Has anyone seen them? I was hesitant without Tipton and Downing but now I think I'd go

Go. I saw them last year and was floored. Halford honestly sounds ridiculously good for his age and Faulkner is electrifying.

Horrendous - Idol

Pig Destroyer - Head Cage

Julia Holter - Aviary

Robyn - Honey

Metallica - ...And Justice For All

NAO - Saturn

Riverside - Wasteland

The Pineapple Thief - Dissolution

Noname - Room 25

Two shows in Toronto, eh? Interesting.

I wouldn't want to see them live, just a pop band with a gimmick, honestly if McFly wore make up would that make them a metal band? Ghost aren't heavy, the singers voice is not distinctive but yeah they do have some cool outfits to take everyones attention away from the fact the music isn't any good

It's fine if you don't like them, but I'm not sure what being heavy has to do with anything. Nothing wrong with them being poppy either. Forge makes his songs catchy on purpose.

Curious to hear what everyone's top 10 Ghost songs are. My girlfriend and I compared our lists the other day, and while we both sort of rank the albums the same, our song picks were radically different from one another. So what would you rank as your top ten?

 

My list:
1. Square Hammer
2. Dance Macabre
3. Ritual
4. He Is
5. Elizabeth
6. Cirice
7. See The Light
8. Year Zero
9. Rats
10. Absolution

1. Life Eternal

2. Faith

3. Square Hammer

4. He Is

5. Rats

6. Witch Image

7. Mummy Dust

8. See The Light

9. Helvetesfönster

10. Cirice

Yeah... I love their last two albums.

@Zeppelin 'Oxnard' is coming by the end of the year

This album is gonna be bumpin'.

It's definitely latter-day Eminem, but it's pretty awesome. And yeah, Tyler just released a great album after releasing mediocre project after mediocre project. He was kinda due. He wasn't exactly lighting it up before Flower Boy.

Title track rocks, alongside Not The One You Know. Never Fade took a few listens, but I enjoy it.

Admittedly nothing else REALLY stood out to me on first listen, but I’m given the album a few more spins. 

The whole album has had the opposite effect for me thus far. The singles are fine, but the rest of the album has stood out to me way more than the singles.

Steven Wilson just announced another run of dates and is coming to my hometown for the first time. I'm pretty fucking pumped.

Hana Vu - How Many Times Have You Driven By

Lori McKenna - The Tree

Mick Gordon - Doom OST

Jorja Smith - Lost & Found

Altin Gun - On

Mary Lattimore - Hundreds of Days

Florence + The Machine - High As Hope

John Coltrane - Both Directions At Once

Dawn Richard - Redemption

Ghost - Prequelle

Nas - Nasir

Bat For Lashes - The Bride

Gang Gang Dance - Kazuashita

Pretty standard song again. Though, I prefer it to the first single at least.

I'm still playing The Witcher 3 NG+. Finally started the main storyline on Skellige after going to every town.

That song has some of the worst production I've ever heard. Oh right, Rick Rubin did it.

The song itself is mediocre enough. Corgan has released much better without the reunited lineup. But still, I'll check out an album. Is there an album coming out at all?

Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us

Smashing Pumpkins are coming here in August, but the cheapest ticket is $92. What?! LOL.

I mean, holy fuck. No.
