Been listening to this album for 22 years now, will definitely be listening to it for the next 22 years too

Never getting bored of Tool, remember a classmate introduced me to Tool with Schism when it came out. Found a new favourite band then

I saw the Schism video on the Kerrang TV channel and was completely blown away, I'd never really taken much notice of them before that - been a big fan ever since

A band I was in had a Tool cover band(a good one) in the next rehearsal studio from us, always nice hearing their grinding on when taking a break from our own upcoming set list

Still testing out this DDC business, so going Apple Music - > Iris -> Sony TAZ -> GSX mini - > Diana V2

I was 13 when this album came out, I kicked and screamed until I got my parents to agree to let me walk downtown (small town) for the midnight release of the new Guns albums at the local record shop.
I feel like I'm succumbing to a pretty unreasonable level of placebo for material I know this well, or actually getting the signal out of USB is an audible improvement. Jury still out if I'm just under snake oil spell or not.

Watching the sun come up to one of the best albums from the 90s grunge period, 1991's eponymous release by Temple of the Dog. If you have been living under a rock for the last 32 years and have never heard this album you need to get on it pronto!

I had (the best) high school History teacher who would frequently go on not-class-related tangents when in class. (he was quite a character and awesome guy) He randomly went on a tangent about how he and his buddies used to sit around and listen to Temple of the Dog, how it was one of the best rock albums ever released, how if we had never listened to it we NEEDED to hear it and we should look it up, how Chris Cornell was one of the greatest singers ever, etc. I think that's the first time I had ever heard of the album. (of course I listened to it afterwards)

What can I say? Your high school history teacher was right about that one. I knew Chris Cornell was a great singer just from listening to albums, but hearing him live is like watching a force of nature. He was just a really captivating perfirmer. When many people think of vocalists from the grunge era Kurt Cobain is often the image that pops up first, but for me it has always been Cornell.

These have been in the family since before I was born. My dad used these to record his own music onto reel-to-reel and I presume also to listen to records to. I also used these a lot as a kid to listen to records and record cassette tape music. They're really bad by today's standards. Very tinny, no bass, easily sibilant, weird timbre, not much detail separation, etc. But they're fun to listen to occasionally and laugh and remind oneself how good we have it in the modern age.

I did improve the sound by using the tone controls but eventually had to take them off my head since my ears were easily fatigued by them.
