Sometimes I wonder if I am completely insane... I love the swinging jazzy intro of These Boots! It annoys me the remasters have to bleep out the changed words that then ruins it for me. Thank goodness I have the original version too. I was worried when you mentioned The More Things Change as to which deeper cut track I love you'd choose but I think you're right about the Blistering. Without putting it on I can remember the intro immediatly but I have no idea how the rest of it goes by memory. I agree with you on Pantera too. Would you have enough material to do a reverse of this, Songs you love from albums you hate? I guess that might be an even harder list. Anyway Happy New Year and see you on the other side.
Love the video! Really enjoy your views on music as a whole! I know this is off topic but your unabashed love of Type O Negative puts you at the top of new metal/music content creators IMO. Please do a ranking every type o song video please! Id love to hear you opine on each and every song! Cheers!
Happy new year,first ...I wish you health ...and then... joy....it's been a cool ride since your ''comeback''...you've been on fire !!!!....always a good moment here👋
I saw Sabbath at Ozzfest in 99 and they played Changes over the PA as the crowd was leaving. I remember walking out of that show with my buddies and just being pumped from seeing the show (Godsmack, Slayer, Primus, SOAD, Rob Zombie, etc. just a killer lineup) so Changes will forever trigger that memory for me. Megadeth’s best cover, by leaps and bounds was Paranoid from the Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black. I don’t necessarily agree with your inclusion of Descent or El Phantasmo, I totally understand your reasoning. Obsolete and Astro-Creep are two albums that I can just hit play on and enjoy. I’ve found your channel one of the most enjoyable ones recently, partially because it’s helping me remember a few albums I have listened to in a while and it’s introduced me to a couple of new ones.
Great topic! I feel We were electrocute not only fits the album well by keeping with its theme of loss but flows sonically with the rest of the album as well. My picks of tracks that don't belong is great albums: Heart of the Devil on Danzig III. Hate that song. I love that album though. Money on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. It's like drifting off to sleep in a comfy bed only to have someone rip the blankets off you and turn the bright lights on. Swing on This on Alice in Chains Jar of Flies. It just does not fit with the mood of that album.
I am 55 years old and have been a metal fan for over 40 years. Nowadays I listen mostly to Black Metal, but my all-time favorite is also Type O Negative. I have seen them live over 10 times in Austria and Germany and have over 120 different releases on vinyl or CD. Even an autograph from Peter Steele. I was shocked when I heard the news of his death. It took me over a year to listen to Type O music again.
Wait, people have an issue with Asleep in the Deep from OMRTS? If there's one Mastodon song I can do without, it's The Creature Lives from The Hunter. The intro promises so much and the song delivers so little.
I USED TO LIVE IN THE UK MANY YEARS AGO, BUT COULDN'T GET USED TO THE WEATHER, BUT IN ISRAEL WHERE I LIVE NOW IT'S DAMN TOO HOT IN THE LONG SUMMER, IT'S NOT FUN LIKE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO ESCAPE THE BAD BRITISH WEATHER THINK... LIFE SUCKS IN ANY WEATHER, AND ONLY MUSIC CAN SAVE US..
Have a great new years & I hope 2025 is your best year yet dude! You deserve it 👍🏻 Songs I hate from albums I enjoy are: 1, Starting controversial, but it's personal preference & that is 'Ride The Lightning' Metallica. I've never liked this song. It always felt lazy & dragged to me. 2, 'Planet Caravan' Panteras cover. Just no!! 3, 'Holy War' Megadeth. Just something about the way he sings in this, it grinds at me 😅 That'll do for now. I could do more controversial ones, but it's too early for that. I need more coffee 😂
Oh hell yeah! I got one! Paradise by the Dashboard Lights By Meatloaf. I love the album Bat out of hell. But if I hear that song one more fucking time I'll rip my fucking ears off. It plays at every fucking wedding in America.
White Zombie Astro Creep 2000 never seems too get much love that whole album is a banger just love it,think i like it better then the one before it even though that one i love as well.And Type Os Life is Killing Me seems too be kinda low on most people's list of Type Os albums alot of it reminds me of October Rust and some parts of Bloody Kisses its a banger of an album that doesnt get enough love,great vid by the way.
How far do you go on your hikes? I love to hike. I am often outside listening to music. The conditions in this video match the last cure album perfectly.
Obsolete is an incredible album and Descent is one of my favorite songs from it. You’re lucky u don’t live close enough to fight me. Jk love your channel bro 😛
Mastodon are one of my favourite bands and I don’t think that there are any of their songs on any of their albums that I hate there are just some that my brain goes ‘no, not today give it a week maybe’
@@MikePitt84 like with most bands I think hat Mastodon have songs that you have to be ‘in the mood for’ in order to listen to or appreciate fully at times.
@rhysthomas14 lol, I like Bladecatcher but I get it. It's goofy but it reminds me of something Mike Patton would have been involved with. Fantomas or something
Damn...I can't remember any song , from an album i like, that I absolutely hate. I don't like many songs, but hate...only from artists I don't like. Btw, happy new year, metal bloke! 🤘
I feel the need to point out a few songs off of albums I love too! Black Sabbath - Paranoid : I find myself skipping over Paranoid and Iron Man. I do realize these are classic Sabbath tunes but the amount of times they're over played on the radio, it's made me quite bored with them. Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil : The song God Bless The Children Of The Beast is a beautiful piece but just doesn't fit with the tone of the rest of the album. Guns n' Roses - Appetite For Destruction : The song Welcome To The Jungle. Great song but another one that got extremely overplayed. I usually skip it. Cinderella - Long Cold Winter: The song Don't Know What You Got. Again, beautiful song but another one that got overplayed. Skip it.
My first Metallica album was the Black Album and I had it on repeat - I utterly ADORE it! However, I cannot stand "Nothing Else Matters" and I always tend to skip it. It feels so out of place with the heavy bangers on the album and both tracks on either side (Through The Never and Of Wolf and Man respectively) never get the love they deserve because they're in the shadow of an extremely popular yet utterly boring and out of place song. I can do without it. I'd rather hear Enter Sandman ten times in a row over this Happy New Year when it comes mate! From Bonnie Scotland!
Landscape's nice... "Where No Wife Dwells" :) It huts me on so many levels, but you're right about Megadeth playing covers...I have to admit it after all those years of defending their versions of "Anarchy" or "Strange Ways". They're just not good... :(
Alice In Chains - Dirt, a banger of a record but the song God Smack just doesn't do it for me at all, it's like a throw away track that they could have demoed for their first record, besides that it's a desert island disc for sure, Happy New Year 🤘
Similar to both versions of Kingdom, I bounce back and forth between both versions of Hyperdrive. I can't say I prefer one over the other. They both sit well within the context if their respective albums.
“Gonna Get Close To You” off Rage for Order, something I consider pretty much a perfect record and maybe the first gothic metal record on top of that. “Letter to Dana” from Sonata Arctica’s debut definitely could have been kept in the oven a little longer. “Talk to Grandpa” from Rage’s Secrets in a Weird World. Supposed to be about speaking to the dead, but the song itself is dead. Like 3 songs off of Keeper of the Seven Keys 2 are just rancid. “We Got The Right” springs to mind first
I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with Machine Head but blistering imo is not a bad song, definitely doesn't deserve to be hated. A little of topic if you don't mind: i'm new to this Channel and i'm courious if you like Nevermore. It's one of my favourite bands and they are back! JL is an awesome guitar player.
Not songs that I hate, but tracks that I think an album could do without: 1. Want- Disturbed (The Sickness) 2. Sure Feels Right- Sixx AM (This Is Gonna Hurt) 3. Make Believe- Korn (Untouchables) 4. Given- Seether (Karma and Effect) 5. Menace- Five Finger Death Punch (American Capitalist) 6. Tonight The World Dies- Avenged Sevenfold (Nightmare) 7. Atmosphere- Shinedown (Us & Them) 8. Love Me or Leave Me- Three Days Grace (Human) 9. Skin to Bone- Linkin Park (Living Things) 10. Dead Girl Superstar- Rob Zombie (The Sinister Urge)
"Thing Beyond Things" at the end of Ocean Machine. I absolutely don't hate it and wouldn't usually skip it on a playthrough. Still, it pales a little against the rest of the album - especially immediately following "The Death of Music." No song on any album should follow that. In an ideal world, "Thing..." would have been left off and Devin would've managed to include the properly recorded version of the album's title track - the demo of which is phenomenal.
Maiden has several poppy songs that I auto-skip on albums I love - Can I Play with madness, Wasted Years, The Wicker Man. The Thing That Should Not Be from Master of Puppets is another one that I end up skipping often. The self-titled track from Atrocity's Hallucinations is unique but a clusterfuck of a listen on what I think otherwise is a really good album.
I'm with you on "Charlotte The Harlot", and I'd put in "22 Acacia Avenue" as well. The only time I want to hear Iron Maiden singing about sex workers is where Jack the Ripper's killing them. Leave it to Whitesnake, lads.
Not a metal band, but much beloved by many (most?) metalheads: Rush. 2112 is as close to a perfect album as I can think of, but it's held back by Tears. Fuck that song.
@@mistertagomago7974 , I have no issues with metal bands expanding trying things , but here , no thanks .., they try to sound like Queen and his voice so put on for the song , does not work for me
Good Friends And A Bottle of Pills from Pantera's Far Beyond Driven is just genuinely annoying imo Edit - LOL and you happen to mention it just as I post this.
Invaders is a indeed something. It's like a 50/50 mix of awesome and ridiculous. That jarring contrast between the between the frankly kickass start and fine verses against the bizarre choruses is baffling. Feels as if the band (well, just Steve Harris in this case) ran out of time when writing the song, was missing the chorus and just threw together something on the spot, which turned to be those odd simplistic circus music sounding guitar patterns and the song's title repeated as the lyrics.
I think the greatest example of this is Corners by IQ off their album The Wake anyone here reading this who happens to be into progressive rock and checks that album will immediately get why I'm saying this lol
Great list. I'm most in agreeance with you for FX, that isn't really even a song, let alone necessary as filler. Although I will disagree on Dev's Hyperdrive. The version on Ziltoid IMO is more atmospheric and laid back, where the version on Addicted - even though it's great - is much more loud and bombastic. The original came right after Solar Winds, and I think fits the "traveling through space" theme a little better than the Addicted version. I, like you, found it very difficult to find any songs from albums I love that I commonly skip. However if I had to choose, I'd pick these two: Addicted by Devin Townsend - It's an ok song at best for me, and the lyrics just rub me the wrong way. I don't generally skip it, but it's my least favorite from that album for sure. Spread Eagle Beagle by the Melvins - Houdini is a killer album otherwise, and though I don't really skip this song, I can certainly understand why people would. It's more of an experiment, but less of a "sound collage" and closer to a song than FX was.
my hero - the colour and the shape, foo fighters. Just a bland straight rock song with only the chorus hook standing out in the middle of a great album
Do You Close Your Eyes from Rainbow - Rising. Perfect album otherwise. Iron Maiden - Invaders from The Number of the Beast and Back in the Village from Powerslave. Metallica - Sad But True from The Black Album. I actually really like the Black Album but this track just bores me. Judas Priest - Heavy Duty/Defenders of the Faith from Defenders of the Faith. Ends an amazing album with a thud.
Absolutely agree on the JP and Rainbow picks (don't really listen to the other two). Actually Long Live Rocknroll has kind of the same problem, with Sensitive to Light being a straight-up song about a girl on an otherwise majestic and mythical album, but DYCyE is a worse offender, it's just primitive and obscene and drags down the album which, even without it, I'd still consider the wo... I mean least great work of the original lineup.
Yep, Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills is a skip track for me. I don't hate it but it kills the momentum. Especially when it's followed up by Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks which is one of the highlights of the album. One of Dimebag's best solos in my opinion.
Interesting and pretty good list. Charlotte The Harlot I never skip, although admittedly the weakest track on an otherwise fantastic album. Funnily, I've stumbled upon another youtuber that really enjoys Charlotte The Harlot and yet doesn't like Running Free. I think they are both fine songs and I listen to them every time I put on that album. Running Free is certainly the better one. It's one of those songs that I listen to and think why the hell didn't it become some kind of massive radio hit. Because it definitely gives me that Rolling Stones hit single type of vibe. Very simple catchy rock and roll. Anyway for me a song I sometimes skip is "Touch of Evil" off of Judas Priest's Painkiller. It's not a terrible one, I used to hate it way more. It even has good moments that I end up appreciating more over time. But it just drags on slightly too long for what it has to offer in my opinion. A mild blemish on an otherwise perfect album. Still among my top favorites. Because the highs of amazing albums can impress me enough to make me forgive a single track that is on the weaker side. Another example that I'm sure many are already citing is Escape from Metallica's Ride The Lighting. Not even the band likes that one. I don't mind it too much, but I can see why it gets some hate. To me it just sticks out as a swore thumb 6 or 7/10 song an album packed with 9 and 10/10s. Ride The Lighting even after 40 years still holds up as one of the all time greats and may still be my favorite album of all time.
5:15. "Fuck this Track"... The uninterrupted seething breathing that spews forth following that statement is brilliant. Like a Wolf prowling the fog swept wilderness. The look of utter contempt and annoyance. Great way to end the segment. 😀👍 I love lists like this, great topic. Im thinking of Soundgarden's masterful 'Superunknown". Otherwise incredible, save for the song 'Half". Following the doom laden beauty of '4th of July", "Half" is a short little eastern tinged oddity that for me is ruined by Bassist Ben Shepard's annoying wailing vocal and the song acts as an unnecessary bridge between 4th of July, and the epic closer, "Like Suicide".
@ThatMetalBloke Yeah, theres nothing "Wrong" with Half as such. I like the quirky Easter vibe to the music, but Ben Shepard's vocals always annoyed me in a comical way.😂 And, its right inbetween the titanic Twin Peaks of 4th of July and Like Suicide. It feels like a surreal little throwaway interlude that, I tend to skip when listening to the album. It interupts the mood and vibe that the previous and proceeding songs create for me.😀
That landscape you're walking through with the fog looks absolutely amazing! 🤘🤘🤘
very Hound of the Baskervilles no ? ;)

@@Polarian1 Used to be a beautiful place.
Love the landscape where you walk! Very eerie yet beautiful!
"Charlotte the Harlot's" sequel, though. I think "22 Acacia Avenue" is an absolute banger.
I love these top ten lists man. Also, your backdrop reminds me of American werewolf in London. I dig it🤘🏻
YES MY DUDE!!!!
Great video pal. Beautiful fog, had it up here in Yorkshire too.
I agree with These Boots. That song can piss off init.
"Descent" is one of my fav FF songs 😅
Besides, beautiful landscapes, great content, keep up the good work!
Sometimes I wonder if I am completely insane... I love the swinging jazzy intro of These Boots! It annoys me the remasters have to bleep out the changed words that then ruins it for me. Thank goodness I have the original version too.
I was worried when you mentioned The More Things Change as to which deeper cut track I love you'd choose but I think you're right about the Blistering. Without putting it on I can remember the intro immediatly but I have no idea how the rest of it goes by memory.
I agree with you on Pantera too.
Would you have enough material to do a reverse of this, Songs you love from albums you hate? I guess that might be an even harder list. Anyway Happy New Year and see you on the other side.
I think I could do a reverse list for sure. That would be a fun one to do I reckon.
Have a fantastic new year bro 🤘
Stick to the road.. stay off the moors ! Lol seriously beautiful place I'd love to traverse! Great video too ,cheers to your 2025!
Love the video! Really enjoy your views on music as a whole! I know this is off topic but your unabashed love of Type O Negative puts you at the top of new metal/music content creators IMO. Please do a ranking every type o song video please! Id love to hear you opine on each and every song! Cheers!
My jaw dropped at (We Were) Electrocute
That's actually one of my favourite songs of that album.
ENTERTAINING LIST AND A BEAUTIFUL GLOOMY FOREST

Thanks a lot. Hope you have a fantastic 2025 yourself 🤘
I saw Sabbath at Ozzfest in 99 and they played Changes over the PA as the crowd was leaving. I remember walking out of that show with my buddies and just being pumped from seeing the show (Godsmack, Slayer, Primus, SOAD, Rob Zombie, etc. just a killer lineup) so Changes will forever trigger that memory for me. Megadeth’s best cover, by leaps and bounds was Paranoid from the Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black. I don’t necessarily agree with your inclusion of Descent or El Phantasmo, I totally understand your reasoning. Obsolete and Astro-Creep are two albums that I can just hit play on and enjoy.

That fog-enhanced setting is beautiful. Reminds me of the Sunset District in San Francisco.
Hmm....I really love the "These Boots" cover. Little Dave's bass really bounces on that one.
Happy new year! Keep the good stuff coming! 😅
when i saw far beyond drive, i knew it was good friends..
Good song
My defense of Aunt Lisa is that the riff during the chanting section is excellent. Really gets you through the end of the track.
Great topic!
I feel We were electrocute not only fits the album well by keeping with its theme of loss but flows sonically with the rest of the album as well.
My picks of tracks that don't belong is great albums:
Heart of the Devil on Danzig III. Hate that song. I love that album though.
Money on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. It's like drifting off to sleep in a comfy bed only to have someone rip the blankets off you and turn the bright lights on.
Swing on This on Alice in Chains Jar of Flies. It just does not fit with the mood of that album.
I am 55 years old and have been a metal fan for over 40 years. Nowadays I listen mostly to Black Metal, but my all-time favorite is also Type O Negative.

Mine is “Can I Play With Madness” On Maiden’s Seventh Son album. Well…. Not hate, but meh.

I love the album Bat out of hell. But if I hear that song one more fucking time I'll rip my fucking ears off. It plays at every fucking wedding in America.
I would do anything for love makes me want to puke! (But I dislike most of his musical output anyways - especially by that time!)

So far so good..... was the best mary jane, 502, darkest hour and hook in mouth. Love it
Like callisto to a star in heaven from Trivium's Shogun. Imagine if they had Upon the shores on the album instead.
Landscape's nice... "Where No Wife Dwells" :)
It huts me on so many levels, but you're right about Megadeth playing covers...I have to admit it after all those years of defending their versions of "Anarchy" or "Strange Ways". They're just not good... :(
I found myself looking into the background watching for figures, lol
Alice In Chains - Dirt, a banger of a record but the song God Smack just doesn't do it for me at all, it's like a throw away track that they could have demoed for their first record, besides that it's a desert island disc for sure, Happy New Year 🤘
I usually hate intro, interlude and outro tracks. Most of them are pointless filler tracks and they are there just to be skipped.
5:03 Extracurricular activities 😂

9. Skin to Bone- Linkin Park (Living Things)
10. Dead Girl Superstar- Rob Zombie (The Sinister Urge)
All non-metal albums?
They're nu metal, which is apparently not real metal. But I also like power metal, as long as it doesn't come too close to sounding like glam.
"Thing Beyond Things" at the end of Ocean Machine. I absolutely don't hate it and wouldn't usually skip it on a playthrough.

Gangland on The number of the beast is my #1 skipper, simply can’t understand why they brought it along.
Where are you when you do these walks looks like Dartmoor or North Yorkshire to me. Guessing Dartmoor by your accent

The Thing That Should Not Be is awful. So boring.
The Thing tsnb has great Lovecraftian lyrics, but it's so slow and plodding, a lot of Metallica fans hate it

That jarring contrast between the between the frankly kickass start and fine verses against the bizarre choruses is baffling. Feels as if the band (well, just Steve Harris in this case) ran out of time when writing the song, was missing the chorus and just threw together something on the spot, which turned to be those odd simplistic circus music sounding guitar patterns and the song's title repeated as the lyrics.
So agree with Charlotte the Harlot, I listen to that album less than I would have because of the song and have disliked it from when I first heard it.
I think the greatest example of this is Corners by IQ off their album The Wake anyone here reading this who happens to be into progressive rock and checks that album will immediately get why I'm saying this lol
The forest reminded me of a black metal album cover
Great list. I'm most in agreeance with you for FX, that isn't really even a song, let alone necessary as filler. Although I will disagree on Dev's Hyperdrive. The version on Ziltoid IMO is more atmospheric and laid back, where the version on Addicted - even though it's great - is much more loud and bombastic. The original came right after Solar Winds, and I think fits the "traveling through space" theme a little better than the Addicted version.
I, like you, found it very difficult to find any songs from albums I love that I commonly skip. However if I had to choose, I'd pick these two:
Addicted by Devin Townsend - It's an ok song at best for me, and the lyrics just rub me the wrong way. I don't generally skip it, but it's my least favorite from that album for sure.
Spread Eagle Beagle by the Melvins - Houdini is a killer album otherwise, and though I don't really skip this song, I can certainly understand why people would. It's more of an experiment, but less of a "sound collage" and closer to a song than FX was.
Love the walks you go on
my hero - the colour and the shape, foo fighters. Just a bland straight rock song with only the chorus hook standing out in the middle of a great album
I could not believe it when that song came out as a single and blew up. Weakest track on a fantastic record.
A Touch of Evil from Painkiller got skipped so often that I ended up deleting it from my player altogether.
How the hell do you hate a Touch of Evil? Thats insane to me lmao.
ikr? Its fine to not like a song but to me it harkens back to Evil Fantasies or other songs like that
YOU'RE POSSESSING ME!
That’s wild. 😂
I always thought Metal Meltdown was the lowpoint of the album and it’s still an okay song. Touch Of Evil is a classic!
What?? That's insane. Especially considering it has one of the very best solos ever.
Where is it you go walking?
Yeah, but it comes down to taste, really...
You know what they say: one man's garbage is another man's ungarbage.
Iron Gland on Dirt by A in C. Just.... why? Wtf guys?
Suicidal Tendencies - I'll Hate You Better from the album The Art of Rebellion. Their worst song on their best album for mine.
Great topic!
Do You Close Your Eyes from Rainbow - Rising. Perfect album otherwise.
Iron Maiden - Invaders from The Number of the Beast and Back in the Village from Powerslave.
Metallica - Sad But True from The Black Album. I actually really like the Black Album but this track just bores me.
Judas Priest - Heavy Duty/Defenders of the Faith from Defenders of the Faith. Ends an amazing album with a thud.
NO! Back in the Village is an awesome song and sadly largely ignored by the band
Absolutely agree on the JP and Rainbow picks (don't really listen to the other two).
Actually Long Live Rocknroll has kind of the same problem, with Sensitive to Light being a straight-up song about a girl on an otherwise majestic and mythical album, but DYCyE is a worse offender, it's just primitive and obscene and drags down the album which, even without it, I'd still consider the wo... I mean least great work of the original lineup.
Never understood the hate for GFAABOP
Obituary - Chopped in Half
Sepultura - Inner Self
Fear Factory - Replica
Inner self is my all time favourite song 😂
Old man yells at very low cloud. 😉
Yep, Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills is a skip track for me. I don't hate it but it kills the momentum. Especially when it's followed up by Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks which is one of the highlights of the album. One of Dimebag's best solos in my opinion.
I love the song Descent brilliant song ❤and love the whole album .
I have a few songs i hate on albums i love. #1 is The thing that should not be on master of puppets.
Such a boring song
It has a lot of good Lovecraftian lyrics, but it's so slow and plodding, a lot of Metallica fans hate it
I love both versions of Hyperdrive
Interesting and pretty good list. Charlotte The Harlot I never skip, although admittedly the weakest track on an otherwise fantastic album. Funnily, I've stumbled upon another youtuber that really enjoys Charlotte The Harlot and yet doesn't like Running Free. I think they are both fine songs and I listen to them every time I put on that album. Running Free is certainly the better one. It's one of those songs that I listen to and think why the hell didn't it become some kind of massive radio hit. Because it definitely gives me that Rolling Stones hit single type of vibe. Very simple catchy rock and roll.
Anyway for me a song I sometimes skip is "Touch of Evil" off of Judas Priest's Painkiller. It's not a terrible one, I used to hate it way more. It even has good moments that I end up appreciating more over time. But it just drags on slightly too long for what it has to offer in my opinion. A mild blemish on an otherwise perfect album. Still among my top favorites. Because the highs of amazing albums can impress me enough to make me forgive a single track that is on the weaker side. Another example that I'm sure many are already citing is Escape from Metallica's Ride The Lighting. Not even the band likes that one. I don't mind it too much, but I can see why it gets some hate. To me it just sticks out as a swore thumb 6 or 7/10 song an album packed with 9 and 10/10s. Ride The Lighting even after 40 years still holds up as one of the all time greats and may still be my favorite album of all time.
Charlotte the Harlot is fucking great!! It's fun
Descent should have been around track. 7 on the album.... exceptionally underrated is freedom or fire
See ya next year.
What do you think of the band Stryper?
🤮
@stevenhenry5267 I knew you were a Wanker cause you love Lars.
Once Solemn from Draconian Times for me
It’s funny, the songs you’ve picked collectively could make an excellent soundtrack to something, and it’d still be better than most modern music.
Hordes To Oblivion by Cathedral. Great band, great album, shyte song!
5:15. "Fuck this Track"... The uninterrupted seething breathing that spews forth following that statement is brilliant. Like a Wolf prowling the fog swept wilderness. The look of utter contempt and annoyance. Great way to end the segment. 😀👍 I love lists like this, great topic. Im thinking of Soundgarden's masterful 'Superunknown". Otherwise incredible, save for the song 'Half". Following the doom laden beauty of '4th of July", "Half" is a short little eastern tinged oddity that for me is ruined by Bassist Ben Shepard's annoying wailing vocal and the song acts as an unnecessary bridge between 4th of July, and the epic closer, "Like Suicide".
I don't mind 'Half' myself but I can see how you wouldn't enjoy it. Not my favourite song on the album for sure
@ThatMetalBloke Yeah, theres nothing "Wrong" with Half as such. I like the quirky Easter vibe to the music, but Ben Shepard's vocals always annoyed me in a comical way.😂 And, its right inbetween the titanic Twin Peaks of 4th of July and Like Suicide. It feels like a surreal little throwaway interlude that, I tend to skip when listening to the album. It interupts the mood and vibe that the previous and proceeding songs create for me.😀
Wow, decent is my favorite track on obsolete, lol.
