Last album you've listened to?

[Clawdeen 16,040]

So I'm taking the time to listen to some of the pop albums listed on itunes. 

1432 - Katy Perry. Because this apparently needed a rerelease. It has extra songs on it that were apparently exclusive to certain vinyl variants. Now my hopes for her is she will take this chart tankage to heart and cease working with Dr Luke. Nobody should be working with Dr Luke. Smile was a great album that did poorly on the charts sure. But as she can see trying to recreate Teenage Dream by working with Luke did more harm than good.

That being said I still finally listened to each of the songs off this. 

GIMMIE GIMMIE, Gorgeous, ARTIFICAL, TRUTH , I WOKE UP, HAS A HEART, OK  - Don't like these at all.

All the Love and NO TEARS FOR NEW YEARS - Not bad

Woman's World, Nirvana and Wonder - Is ok.

Crush - One of the better songs off the album.

I'm His, He's Mine - This ones not bad either. Video is a million times better than Woman's World. Doechii really makes this song. 

Lifetimes - The best song off the album and should have been the lead. Not a fan of the video at all. 

My personal feelings about her working with Dr Luke aside, it's a so-so album. She can do better. It's probably her worst album music wise. I wasn't going to buy it regardless because Dr Luke but I wanted to listen to it fully to see if it was as bad as what people were saying. While I feel like there is some over exaggeration on how bad it is, it is bad for her standards.

Listened to this at work.

Before that it was Powerslave. Would've gotten through A Matter of Life And Death too if an industrial grinder wasn't fired up and running for the last hour. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 11,965]

Faith No More's Angel Dust  

Not going to post the album here as several track titles push the envelope.  Some swan on the cover, boy we are fooled by what these guys did beforehand  If only @Denim&Venöm has any thoughts of the album, I'd be intrigued to hear them.

[SkarletVoid 148]

Because Maybe by Renard 

 

[Raskolnikov 173]

I think last full album I put on was Sovran by Draconian 🤔 I loooove the doomy moody vibes and Heike has a god tier voice for it, band probably holds the crown of gothic death/doom ATM. Sweden can make pretty good metal sometimes when it's not Gothenburg melocheese :p

[SkarletVoid 148]

Nothin like some good ol deathcore

[Acinonyx 195]

In Abhorrence Dementia by Limbonic Art. That's some fine 90s Norwegian black metal.  

[SkarletVoid 148]

Awesome technical death metal project

 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,982]

Mechina's most recent album, Bellum Interruptum. While it doesn't have a track as amazing as Praise Hydrus, the record overall is consistently great. 

 

[Clawdeen 16,040]

Ghost's Skeleta album. I love it

[Acinonyx 195]

More 90s Norwegian black metal. 

[Iforgotmybrain 6,011]

I listened to Alex G's "God Save The Animals" for... I dunno, probably the 10th time since it released in 2022? Definitely not my favorite album of his, mainly because I think a fair few of the songs are just misses or overly forgettable. It does have some great high points though, Blessing, Runner, SDOS and After All are all great songs and keep this album from just being mediocre.

Testing my memory here but I would like to say it was the album Berserker by Beast In Black.

Much like From Hell With Love I had already heard many tracks prior to listening to the album and did very much enjoy it.

[Crypty Scribbles 5,684]

Dis one. And I love it!

The Morning Never Came by Swallow The Sun.

Dunno why the opening keys of the first track give me an existential crisis. They have a strange painful nostalgia attached to them.
