Re: SIGN OF THE HAMMER or HAIL TO ENGLAND
I don't think we're even, 'cause I do like some Metal Church, I just don't consider the s/t one of the all-time greats :-) Back on topic: I'm asking about these 2 Manowar albums b/c I think many people consider them two of the band's best, and they're similar in some ways: Both have kinda odd produc...

Re: Why Don't I Like METAL CHURCH s/t More?
I fully acknowledge, endorse, and embrace my being weird :-) Yeah, I know I'm very out of step with most of the community on this one. What can I say? No one loves 'em all. For the record I do like Wayne's vocals a lot more on 'The Dark'. He didn't change styles, but for whatever reason his singing ...

SIGN OF THE HAMMER or HAIL TO ENGLAND
Let Battle Commence!
I'll come back and share my thoughts later, when my desk isn't about to collapse under the backlog of work....

Why Don't I Like METAL CHURCH s/t More?
Been playing a lot of the old classics lately, especially lots of Savatage, WASP, Riot, etc, so I figured I'd spin 'Metal Church' for the first time in a short age. I still just don't quite get this album. Decent band. Decent songwriting. Nothing much to complain about. But I just don't hold it in t...

Re: CIRITH UNGOL - New Live Album
There's a new studio track available on bandcamp too What, were you looking for a link? I said it's on bandcamp. Surely you wankers can find it yourselves. Bloody hell, everyone wants a direct link to everything nowadays. Back in my day, if you wanted to hear a new Cirith Ungol track, you had to wai...

Re: Weird Finds While Cleaning Out Your Collection
Remember reading an interview with Dio in Metal Maniacs where he said everything was a rip off of Louie Louie.... :lol: And the funny thing about this is that I fucking hate that song. Yeah, I'm a fan of LOTS of oldies stuff- grew up listening to all that 50s-60s era music- and I never liked this o...

'Ample Destruction'- Details On Various Pressings
Thought I'd take a break from posting goofy stories and wacky album reviews, and instead try to provide some useful info. So, if you ever thought, "gee, I wish someone would inundate me with more information about various pressings of 'Ample Destruction' than any sane person would ever want&quo...

Re: PAGAN ALTAR 'The Room of Shadows'
Omen- glad you got a laugh out of it, I was afraid some folks might fail to see the humor if they got all huffy that I dared disparage a PA album.
Rob- yeah I agree, it completes the set of PA albums on my shelf.... and doesn't do much else.
Kristian- yep, agreed.

Re: Weird Finds While Cleaning Out Your Collection
Oh thank the Gods of Chaos that y'all aren't gonna make me choose between my Metal Archives Ranking and my copy of 'Black Celebration'! Depeche Mode seems to be a band that a lot of metal fans either like or are at least willing to give a free pass, which always surprises me. It's like my dad's obse...

Re: PAGAN ALTAR 'The Room of Shadows'
So, someone (madrushmedia) finally distributed this in the US and I scooped up a copy last month. And now I'm gonna rant about it a little bit. Sooooo, PA albums usually take a little while to grow on me, and maybe I haven't given this one quite enough time yet (played it probably 10-12 times so far...

Re: Weird Finds While Cleaning Out Your Collection
I was a senior in high school when grunge started to break out on the national scene. At our Winter Dance me and another rapscalion convinced the DJ to close the dance with 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' so we could get in a spot of slam dancing to scare the squares a little. Very few people present had ...

Re: Genres You Got Tired Of
Re: Dark Angel: I never really got into them either, I always thought of them as a second rate Thrash act. But to be fair I probably only heard DD and WHA a couple of time each. I think the only album I ever owned was 'Time Does Not Heal', and I got it at a point where I was sorta overloaded on thra...

Re: Genres You Got Tired Of
Oh, and another old favorite that at least deserves mention here: 'Eternal Nightmare'. Man that album cover creeped me out as a kid!
