| Random Number Generator
The idea is this: I stand in front of my two album racks, towering above me. I switch on my random number generator in three lots: 1-2 (which rack to choose), 1-12 (number of shelves in each rack, the generated shelf will be counted from the top), 1-15 (number of albums in rack, the generated number will be counted from the left, if there is less than 15 albums on the shelf, I’ll start over again). I choose 5 albums this way and that’s about it. If an album comes up that I did in any of the lists before, there’s a big chance I’ll leave it out. That’s right. I’m bored. | | 1 |  | Foo Fighters
Concrete and Gold

I was never a big fan of Foo Fighters. Although we do play one of their songs in our band (No Way Back), it’s mainly because it’s a good song to play, especially if you speed it up and metallize it. Anyway, this album from what I saw in various places received high notes, and the two singles I heard were actually quite good, so when I saw this album in one of the chain supermarkets at a very good price, I just went for it. Listened to it 2 or 3 times, and it’s resting now. But actually… I’ll put on right now. | | 2 |  | Megadeth
Countdown to Extinction

I am more of a Metallica guy. I was brought up on Metallica, and I never really liked the backstory of Megadeth- I mean, the concept of Making an awesome metal band in revenge for being chucked out from your band is really cool, but Dave always seemed like a sour old man to me, and I never felt that Megadeth is a band, I always saw it as Dave and a few guys- despite the fact that all of them were and are great musicians. Similar story to Concrete and Gold, I bought it in a chain supermarket when it was on discount. I already had two Megadeth albums, Rust in Peace and The System Has Failed, and both I bought when I was a kid. I quite like this album, went back to it lately, seems like Megadeths answer to the Black Album, but done in their own way. | | 3 |  | Lenny Kravitz
Are You Gonna Go My Way

Once again, not a big fan :D But I was in one of my music suppliers shops and saw this at a good price. It’s a good piece of guitar music, and I think it’s worth having. Not sure what I was thinking at the time though… I listened to it a few times, and I remember that I was a bit let down that most of the album is ballady and calm. I was expecting the whole album to be proper rock, like the title song. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to have another listen sometime. | | 4 |  | Black Label Society
Grimmest Hits
1-1-14
Now, this is more like it. I mentioned this before, BLS is amongst my top ten bands, although I am aware of the ‘’corny-nes’’ of the project at times. But I think that it just adds to the whole picture. A Southern band from New Jersey? Why the hell not! I root for BLS for 15 years now, but I think that Grimmest Hits was the first album I actually was excited and waited for. I even bought it in preorder, and I must say I wasn’t let down at all. The albums before this one were ok, but rather bland. This one has balls to it, and some kind of new quality to it. | | 5 |  | Down

I remember that in one of the guitar magazines I bought, there was a riff from ‘’Stone the Crow’’, and a sample on an attached CD. I listened to it (it was just the intro), and loved it. Shortly after I bought the album (I was 11 or something at the time), but didn’t really appreciate it. Tried many times up to this day, but I think I’m yet to understand the chaotic system behind bands like Corrosion of Conformity and Down. I like them, I have quite a bit of their albums, but I can’t always get through what the exact message is- the music just tires me sometimes, when I have to get through another strangely cascading riff with no proper hook. But that’s just me. | |

09.11.20 | Let's get the party started. This was actually quite interesting for me, 80% of these records were a bit forgotten by me, as you can see from the description. I don't care if this idea catches on, I'll do this every Friday simply for the exploration factor it provides. Cheers! |
