I reckon I struggle with modern production. It makes everything feel too slick and plasticky. I like roughness and rawness - the stuff that lets you know that there's a human playing it. That's why the 80s records of any of those bands will always be better than anything they do in the future.

And the boring as shit album art. TBH I love when you can get that synergy between album art and sound.

Dissection's Storm of the Lights Bane is the perfect example of this imo.

Yeah agree entirely with that. The Megadeth remastered collection that made everything sound like it was recorded in 2005 really was a united abomination*



*Except Rust In Peace. Never liked the drum sound on that. Was so nothing it would have gone with Jason's bass on ...And Justice For All.

Belief is their excuse, pure and simple.

They choose to exclude non-USA cities from their ANALysis because the USA is "special" and "different".

Right. Said every "chosen" people ever

The pseudo-religiousity attached to their second Amendment makes it almost as hard a conversation as the one with, let me just call them "literalist" Muslims for lack of an agreed neutral term, about Mohammed's relationships with the women in his life.

The great irony is that an amendment is just that. Laws can be changed and should be reviews as society changes. Imagine if every law we had was written in 1791?

Ultimately they'll keep using their confirmation bias to convince themselves that every country that has ever had some form of gun control will ultimately fall at the hands of a dictator and their citizens will be shipped off to forced labour camps. They never want to look at countries like Australia where gun control has been a huge success.

Yep. There's clarity and heaviness (Dissection) and then there's over compression and the liberal use of pro-tools (pretty much most "popular" metal released after the nineties)

Edit: whoops missed your point there but the production of Storm of the Lights Bane rules and yep painted artwork is ****.

Funny that word is Marty wanted to continue down the path of Risk, making more pop rock style music. Then after they disband he does stuff like this.

It isn't exactly Breadline itself.

God thats awful

"All time classic"

Fuah. You'd have a So Far...-tier good album.

Knocked one up then without bothering to rearrange tracks

Dialectic Chaos
Washing Is Next
Fatal Illusion
We The People
Gears Of War
Dance In The Rain
New World Order
Conquer Or Die
Black Swan
How The Story Ends
Foreign Policy

I'd listen to the **** outta that. Admittedly, there are some "softer" songs that appeal to me more than others, like... everything from track 4 on, and one cover song.

Lol at how two of these are Youthanasia B-sides

I like when Metal albums looked like 90s video game covers.

Ok, I really didn't, but it's funny.

NWO and what else?

Millennium of the Blind is one from the same album but I didn't go with that.

mb, I thought Black Swan was from Youthanasia. But it was rerecorded wasn't it? UA?

Imagine if they were called "Negotiated Compromises For the Protection of Special Interests" rather than "Amendments".

The original driver behind the 2nd was to enact a right for slave owners in the newly independent States to forcibly put down slave rebellions without interference from a Federal entity.

Horrible Histories writ large, and forgotten.

Georganas may just hold on to Hindmarsh, has started pulling away again, ever so slightly. 50.1%.

Yes, you are correct on that. Just Wiki'd it. What also gets me when I wiki is when I see how these metal albums chart in Aus. You'd never hear about it though. **** our commercial radio sucks. It would make sense if no one listened to it, but metal does pretty well here and it flat out ignored.

Haha the old "my mate did some graphic design at tafe and is pretty good with photoshop" style album cover.

I'd rather listen to A Tout Le Monde w/Christina Scabbia on repeat.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

I can't sit through a Marty Friedman solo album but I can with Poland

 

[spookism]

Many beared hipsters (of which I may be one) at the Beer and BBQ festival

Tis a great event,by the way

 

[Magus]

Dylan8 what do you think of this alternate mix? I reckon I might like it better than the original album version. The bass and drums sound great. I have copy of this on double LP, the whole package is very aesthetically pleasing.

I have the double CD with the alternate mixes

Prefer the original. Alternative mixes almost always never sit well with me.

Very good event. Got myself a weekend pass a few months ago and forgot about it until yesterday. Some great beers there.
