So what you're saying is that there's nothing to love about this album.

Today's review is Opeth's Sorceress (Progressive Rock, Folk Rock, Progressive Metal).



Ok, I'm going to start this off by disagreeing with RYM on that this album is progressive metal. Just because a song has distortion on the guitar, and a faster rhythm doesn't mean it's metal. This album is a serious of soft melodic songs with occasional increases in BPM. This album is everything we've come to know and love about Opeth since they killed the growls.

Favorite track: Era
It's ****ing great. Era is easily my favorite track on the album as well.

Today's review is Radiohead's OK Computer (Alternative Rock, Art Rock).


So I was a bit reluctant to listen to this album after the disappointment of A Moon Shaped Pool. But perhaps this album will be not boring. So I gave it a listen. Much better. I'd say this album is as good as Kid A if not better then. I think it's to early for me to say which album is better, but they both, with a few more listens, could easily get put on my favorites. OK Computer is a fun enjoyable album. No compllaints at all.

Favorite track: Electioneering
Just a fun song.

So I have begun work on a new album. Not sure what it will be called or the musical direction yet. What I'm thinking is going in a more art rock/ambient/stoner rock direction. I've got one song done and am working on a second one.

This means no more reviews til I'm done with the album, or I'm frustrated I can't get it moving forward any further and have to take a break from it for a week or two.

I'd also like to make it so this album doesn't fall into the trap of my other projects I set the following rules.
  1. At least 10 songs that are 3 minutes or longer.
  2. No less than ten tracks
  3. Cohesive flow between songs
  4. Each song must have one major quality about it that sets it apart from the other songs.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

I was considering a death metal style of track after the current one I'm working on. Problem is, I suck ass at metal instrumentals.

Go listen to Acid Bath. They already did the sludgy death metal thing.

I've listened to Acid Bath. I was thinking of a song with a slow atmospheric build. Then reuse the riff I wrote from the last thirty seconds of my song porter.
