musical taste

favorite bands

Minor Threat, Slayer, Skinny Puppy,

	Onslaught In Search of Sanity	4.0 07.25.24
	System of a Down Toxicity Chop Suey was and still is wildly overplayed on my local metal station. It formed a kind of stew along with Linkin Park and Freak on a Leash. They cooked that stew for hours and hours and served it over and over and over again. Coming back to the rest of this album years later I find that it's a well made dish prepared by musicians with gourmet-level talents. But I know the flavor of the style too well, and I'd just rather order something else.	3.0 07.25.24
	Helloween Walls of Jericho	4.0 07.25.24
	Blind Guardian Battalions of Fear	4.0 07.25.24
	Solitude Aeturnus Beyond the Crimson Horizon	4.5 07.25.24
	Youth Code An Overture	4.0 07.25.24
	Metallica 72 Seasons Except for a few tracks from Magnetic and Hardwired (and "Fuel" is pretty good too, I guess), I'm not a fan of any whole album beyond Justice.rBut this one might contain Hetfields finest expressions of the thrashy-rock style he started developing after Justice, when Whiskey-in-a-Jar and Turn-the-Page influences crept into his music on the black album, and then crashed into it and monopolized it on Load through St. Anger. Magnetic and Hardwired then seemed to tone down the Rock. But it came back stronger again on 72 Seasons and is probably my favorite balance. rIt's still not the kind of thing Cliff would have approved of, but what are we gonn	3.5 07.25.24

PsychicChris Thanks for the shoutout! As much as I prefer The Force when it comes to Onslaught, In Search of Sanity is a pretty interesting one. Scratches a similar itch as the first couple Annihilator albums or Howe-era Metal Church.

SitarHero That's the interesting thing about SOAD. They're faaar from a "radio friendly band" yet got massive amounts of mainstream success without ever losing their street cred. We do pretty much all their "big hits". It's all kinds of weird that a band that weird would have such a huge fanbase, but I'm not complaining. :]
