anybody who doesn't think that the black album is an awesome hard-rock record is a fool.

Gimme a pool table, a case of Bud Lite, and this.

a lot of straight wives forgave their gay husbands after the divorce, too.

Queen spread their disappointing swansong over the span of 6 or 7 albums...

Being a huge fan of "kill em all" and their progression up to and until "...and justice for all", the simplicity and direction of the "black album" left me extremely disappointed...i guess wanting more than a hard rock record from a metal band that i grew up idolizing is retarded.

judging quality of music based on nostalgia is, well, pretty retarded. grew up on 'em too, got un-fond of that opinion circa and justice when i had to hear from my best friends older brother and all his friends how much they sucked/sold out on and-justice. maybe it just didn't make sense to my 10-year old brain as to why the same guys who could like the whole spectrum of floyd and zep would give a fuck if metallica put out a slower record. i mean jesus, if you cant get behind the solos on the black album, i dunno what to tell you.

now if you'd said load, i'd understand completely. but the black album is one of the damn heaviest "hard rock" records ever.

What do you consider their last good album? I have a fondness for the cheesy '80s stuff, but it's hit or miss, obviously.

I think their 70's material is unfuckwithable... but once they broke their "no synths" pledge it all went downhill. Depending on my mood I might acknowledge a soft spot for The Game, but Hot Space, etc. is a no-go.

If Queensryche never make another album, then they've trumped Reinkaos.

i've met people who think this is their best album. i bought it the day it came out and sold it the next.

If we don't achieve total aesthetic solidarity how will we beat the other boards in wife-carrying contests?

Carcass - Swansong

I like Reinkhaos, for what it is

i love Carcass - Swansong for what it is:

1) a fuck you to earache, in that it was a perfectly marketable album save for the vocals, which would be fine now but would garner no real radio play then

2) a fuck you to all the first two album "fans" who continually whined about them not just staying a sloppy grind band

3) a fuck you to all the other "fans" who dropped off and bitched about them getting more technical with each record after that

4) a fucking awesome metal/rock record with a damn fine vocal performance.

haha prometheus is by far the best emperor for me.

I like it a lot because it's Emperor going in a direction better than IX, but Anthems is untouchable.

i mean it's not their best but it's certainly not bad
