Really would like to see The Mysterines live again, they were quite good.

Was drawn towards this album after seeing the amazing album cover.
Actually pretty cool rock/metal from 1979.
But that artwork.

I'd normal restrict this to the metal thread but this is very much a "mood" at the moment

Listening to Nia Archives "Silence is Loud" album. Gave it a first listen when it came out as I liked her EPs but the album didn't click, kind of felt it had leaned too much into her britpop influences.
Had a weird urge to listen to it again though and this time it's clicked. Very much enjoying it now.

Why have I not heard this before!?! I love it! It's me to a tee! Trashy eurodance mixed with metal, my two favourite things!

HEALTH did a second version of ASHAMED, this time with Lauren Mayberry as a guest star.

What a band they were around this time I actually saw them back in 2002, but it was one of those painfully earnest 18 year old tragic dates that I really can't listen to them at all. |

Don't know why, but "The Skeleton And The Tailor" got stuck in my head today.
Fun fact: The Real McKenzies have had more members than Spinal Tap.

Sometimes you don’t listen to something for absolutely ages then when you do you realise why its so good all over again
I’d fallen into associating the intro with the sound of daytime tv - specifically DIY shows - for some reason but I’ve had the album on a lot recently and its truly, properly brilliant.

I’ve still got this on vhs somewhere, if it isn’t totally degraded through overuse.

I made myself sit down with a coffee table book yesterday and spun some LPs to have a proper listen. I gravitated towards Ghost and played the first album, Prequelle (the one with ‘Rats’ on) and the newest studio album Impera.
From a purely sonic point of view, Opus Eponymous has really great organic tones on both the bass and guitars but doesn’t open up well without being cranked a bit. My LP is like an ectoplasmic blue-green with glittery bits in it as well (I’d always want plain black given the choice) so it had a bit of ‘tickiness’ to it. This one has some of the best riffing they ever did, but is more sludge/Sabbath meets Blue Oyster Cult and I think some of (not all) the melodys and singing are a bit weaker than what came after.
Prequelle sounds absolutely massive and has a superlative Black Album type sheen to it. I was actually a bit blown away by how perfect it sounded. I’m not hugely familiar with the album because I think I thought it was a bit eighties cheese when it first arrived, but I’ve definitely reassessed it now. It’s their best album I think.
Impera is an album I loved from the start but it’s a step back in sonics. Everything is very much at one level and whilst I don’t think it’s proper loudness wars it just verges on fatiguing. The drums just kind of sit in the middle and aren’t this big foundation like on the album before.
A great band I think, the shtick of the campy Hammer Horror thing is ever amusing but they really do have the tunes to back it up and have ended up being a superb classic metal band with melody.
