In undernourished sounds, in overzealous crowds
I just got back from Toby's bachelor party. It was awesome. Ten thumbs up in your rectum, if only to hold in the farts that are unavoidable when you cram 12 or 13 dudes into two cabins and feed them mexican food. Music selection this week:
Trap Them - Darker Handcraft
Pretty good. Doesn't grab me quite as well as Seizures, but it's a solid outing. Makes me want to mosh-drive a semi into a crowd of people. As usual the artwork kills, wasn't done by Jacob Bannan which is kind of a surprise as he did all the artwork for their other albums. Album is awesome.
Twisted Sister - Come Out and Play
I BELIEVE, IN ROCK AND ROLL! Hell yes. Dee Snider is a modern day Prometheus, giving us the fire of heavy metal in all its glory. About as good as Stay Hungry, the heavy songs rule and the ballads also rule. I Believe in You is the standout track, Snider asks the world for more, for just one person to say those four words, good times are had.
Pedro the Lion - Control
I fell asleep to this the other day. Levi suggested I listen to it and he is a cool guy for doing that. I don't know how to critique this style of music, it makes me feel dozy and warm, that's cool I guess.
Judas Priest - Stained Class
Another 70's Priest album, another collection of solid hits. I just fucking love this band, can hype me up day or night. Rob Halford likes to ride onstage on a motorcycle and you can totally see why. Because do you have to die to be a hero? That's why. I will continue to progress through JP's discography on this blog.
Testament - The Formation of Damnation
I was surprised to learn that Testament continued to make good music past the death of thrash metal in the 90's, their style changed with the decades but that's okay. I think this album came out mid-2000's? It's definitely heavier than their old stuff, solid riffs, if you changed the vocals there wouldn't be much to pick them out from contemporary metal bands. Most metal bands would likely (and do) pay homage to this band. Their new album should be out right away, definitely want to get my hands on that.
Stay posi, friends.
