It's ******* awesome. I think the chino spot is misplaced, it just doesn't fit, but Randy's clean singing is an acceptable copy of Corey taylor lol The album is banger after banger and most importantly has that groove back, randy is pissed off again finally

those are nice DIY boxes!  do you have a link?   i ended up cutting holes in the wall and wiring in a new circuit with a dedicated breaker.  if i ever get to build (another) listening room i'd definitely change the way i run power in the walls!  when i did mine i didn't anticipate so many plug...

Tad was always way more metal than most of the other grunge scene members (8-way Santa is great, inhaler was their major label debut and pretty good, the lyrics are really good). They never hit it big but we're always mired in controversy, their album art was always pretty intense and they got...

Markm1, try the new Goatsnake out on your fancy streaming device. It may well be right up your alley, riffing like mad Another fantastic (not metal, but chock full 'o metal dudes) is the night flight orchestra....best 70's kiss-revival album I've heard in eons

I have some $9.99 tinted and clear from Home Depot...they look a little silly but they've got lots of use, I leave em in the pack for anyone who forgot theirs Don't let that hold you back from a good stress reliever right when you need one! Some seasonal inspiration from last week for all?

After I painted my sr80 pink I kept hearing my wife and kids making fun of me. The sound was totally ruined

I don't have that, it pretty good! It really does mashup a lot of different styles Thanks for the rec

  i won't speak on lossy vs. lossless, there is a lot of opinion there and the word "audibility" comes up a lot.  i've done my own testing to decide what level i'm comfortable with but i don't disbelieve that others may have a different threshold than myself   but...FLAC and WAV are...

It's a great song, I love the EP....but it's also a very important record, it's exciting for black metal

  i don't blame you.  it's primitive stuff

  Bathory is really dated, not slightly.  but...historically essential and if one is already a fan of early-sounding primitive black or even general 80's extreme metal then Bathory is really enjoyable.  I'm a fan myself (my favourite is Under the sign of the Black mark)  but i also understand...

I'm sure it's true! But it's still "a destructive process". Science doesn't allow for otherwise, regardless of how small the changes really are I was simply pointing out the likely reason for the comment (other then pure antagonism that is)

  playing vinyl is a destructive process.  the groove after a play is not identical to what it was before a play.  this is an unavoidable result of friction.     i have my doubts that it would sound noticeably different after a single play but it sure could if the record wasn't clean or any...

My only naglfar album is pariah, and honestly I couldn't remember a track from it Sounds like I need to brush up! I do have the dimmu catalog, I actually prefer the post Enthrone Darkness era...I never thought dimmu did the raw stuff as well as the other big bands of the time but they are...

Their three latest on season of mist are stellar albums. I've been on a total funeral kick lately...esoteric, evoken, mournful congregation, corrupted, etc have dominated my playing for the last week. I think it got kicked off after I fell in love with the new Bell Witch, amazing album that is...
