Yeah, that's not terrible. Definitely the least Motley Crüe-sounding Motley Crüe I've heard. Guess it wasn't enough to keep them relevant in the 90's, huh? Also, didn't know they ever did anything without Vince Neil.

Eh...I guess you had to be there at the time between 90-92 when hair metal was on it's way out and grunge was the new, it just seemed preposterous that Crue would change what they'd always been and sell out to seem relevant? For what it's worth the only grunge band I really ever liked was Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees and Soundgarden were ok.

Dirt and Superunknown are two of the best grunge albums if not two of the best albums of the 90s. Screaming Trees were good, I'd forgotten about them.

I really like Facelift, Dirt, Sap and Jar of Flies. Their b-sides are better than their more famous songs that got a lot of airplay during that time imo. To me that's what makes a great album

I actually bought Alice In Chains' Jar Of Flies a year or 2 ago. Only Grunge album I own. Pretty good though. I don't know dick about Grunge, and for the most part, probably wouldn't know it if I heard it. Unless it was a Nirvana song, of course. I wasn't into music at all when I was a teenager (in the 90's).

Jar of Flies is great. Probably my favourite EP. Definitely try to listen to Dirt.

Fuckin love Don't Follow, my favorite song on the album. Facelift and Dirt are much more metal but when they slowed down some on Sap and Jar of Flies it didn't matter cause their song writing was so good imo.

Listening to Gorija - Their albums get better the more recent they are

blackmore is one of the last champions of LGBT rights I would of picked but hey good on him.

Wow I didnt realize that band was so popular, got some decent numbers on spotify

The EP this is from is pretty fantastic (yes that's Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth on vocal duties):



Also, if you've never heard their album Brave Murder Day, you should probably get onto it right away:

I've spoken here before about Mikael Åkerfeldt,him also that guy from janes addiction I just can't stand. He's OK with the growling like here but when he tries to sing hes friggen terrible

He's more than "OK", he's one of the best growlers in metal but yeah whilst his clean vocals are not exactly fantastic they are far from terrible. Damnation is a damn fine record and his vocals do not ruin it in any way.

yeah thats one of their better albums (you can hear the influence of steve wilson heavily). I'll give a listen to all their albums tomorrow. IIRC blackwater park may be my fav but I could be wrong. I'll find out tomorrow (been a few year since I listened)

Listen to the singer or Isis, you have to admit he does a far better job with the vocals (esp the singing style) I'll listen to all their albums now (not sure which I think is their best)
one of these 3

Isis - In the absence of Truth

Isis - Oceanic
Isis - Wavering Radient

edit: Oh thats right the drummer likes hitting the snare with force, haha

I've listened to Panopticon but it was some time ago. It's their highest rated album on RYM, so I guess it's one of 4. I'll have to give those albums a listen at some point.

Happy Birthday, btw.

Not actually my birthday, though close (I always use the same wrong date jsut in case someone wants to use my info for something important eg my bank account )

OK been listening to opeth today (though not gonna finish the whole ouvre cause I had to finish something else beforehand)
but fuck I did not hear thei most recent 5 albums at all, ever.
Ha I would of said I knew all their albums very well.
Actually from a first listen the most recent from2019, here he sings the best, I had to google did they get someone else to sing in this album I was so shocked.
Actually from 1 listen that album is quite good, the other 4 (though early listen not so good)

btw I hate the term ouvre, sounds like taking a turddump


godshead lament - Brilliant song, but the singing is so fucking bad, la de da (taking my way to the limit, la de dah)

oooh oh oh, la de dah



EDIT FUCKEN STOP THE PRESS (ok Im still listening to opeth, and here is the proof)
my arms, your hearse (iron maids) holy fuck there is zero ompth, the singing is as lame as could be put on tape, no idea hwy this guy sings so bad.
In 2019 he finally started to sing good, it only took 13 (or so) albums

I love your markus-san but why the fuck is his singing so bad in this song (where we can measure it against)
A/ cause hes a shit singre (though Im curious why the 2019 album he became better, there must be a story)
