I remember reading something about James putting cocaine on his cornflakes.



I may be wrong but yeah, this album rules. Their first five albums are monolithic.

I remember hearing a rumour that Sabbath transported their cocaine in cereal boxes so maybe it was a tribute?

" In a retrospective review, Sputnikmusic's Channing Freeman named it as one of the few albums that can be charming and powerful at the same time. He praised Hetfield's vocal performance and concluded that Metallica was "firing on all cylinders""



From wikipedia. Damn Chan, you're famous.

I wonder if one day I'll have smth like "sputnikmusic's Dewinged pointed out that "this shit slaps" in his review of the album".

One of Johnny's reviews got mentioned on Wikipedia under his "Hugh G. Puddles" name. So I guess anything's possible, lol

From the Wikipedia page for Engine of Hell:



Sputnikmusic staff member "Dewinged" gave the album 5 out of 5 stars, and related the album's aura to the experience of losing their mother, stating, " Emma's fifth album is difficult to judge, to critic, to write about. How can anyone treat a collection of songs that come from the deeper corners of the heart with something as banal as an objective take on it? I refuse to do so. I listen to 'Blooms of Oblivion' and I feel the kind of vertigo I felt when the last tie with she who brought me into this world was severed without a warning. Emma has recreated with a few notes, a few chords, and a few words, the sound of a scream lost in the abyss. Even the Bandcamp page for the album features a black background and no description whatsoever. This is the artist in her purest and most essential form, and no press release, promo material or review could ever describe what lies beyond the music."[14]

I'd prefer they'd quoted the "this shit slaps" one.

Wasn't too fond of the first track but the rest slams. Production is stellar too

Both this review and the other do make for exceptional reads. Seeing them out there in the wild is just the icing on the cake.
