These are all tapes:
Dressed in Streams - The Search for Blood Field of Spears - Heathen Youth Purple Light - Crying Tears of Purple Light A Pregnant Light - Neon White Wounded Knee - Queen Nacht Bizmarkie - Just a Friend (single) Motorhead - The Birthday Party Motorhead - Rock 'N' Roll Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill Beastie Boys - Cooky Puss Megadeth - Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good! Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? Megadeth - So Far, So Good... So What! Vingthor the Hurler - The Sesame Street Beat Tape Pyramids - A Northern Meadow Tag Team - Whoomp (There It Is)! (single) Queen - A Kind of Magic Queen - Live Magic Prince - Batdance (single) DJ Madness and Dr Boom - Smokin' Hot Funk (single) George Michael - Faith ....and a mix tape hidden within the confines of Siouxsie and the Banshee's "kiss them" single, which contains the UNEDITED, TOTALLY FULL LENGTH VERSION OF "THIS IS THE END" THAT REMINDS YOU JUST HOW HIGH THE DOORS WERE. *** I haven't had the time to listen to all these yet, due to lots of overtime, but I'd like to make some comments nonetheless. Firstly, that Queen Nacht album is brilliant, and is by far the best noise album I own. The first time I listened to it was at two thirty or so in the morning, headed to work, when it was all sorts of humid, and the smoke from the canadian forest fires, mingled with the local wildfires, making everything smell like fireworks... the city I live in, like my girlfriend likes to say, looks very soviet. And that point, it wasn't just a late 70s Soviet malaise; it was Leningrad. Secondly, that sesame street mix tape by far is the coolest thing ever. If you don't think it's cool, **** you, it has googly eyes, and, yeah, I got the damned Oscar the Grouch version, because I want my tape to match the case. Blablablaly, that Pyramids album is causing me all sorts of confusion. Do you like that band Blut Aus Nord? I don't, but everyone else sure seems to. Apparently the primary dude from that band was involved in creating this album, which is causing me conflicting emotions because I've been eager to hear Pyramids as the head guy puts out stuff from Colloquial Sound Recorings (one of the most essential labels in underground metal today, imo) on non tape formats... but this was all, like, Solstafir meets Red Harvest meets Circle of Ouroborus. It's infuriating and intriguing at the same time. :p

Regardless of the album being good or not, when you compare Disturbed and their music to other bands, for example and pay no mind to the difference of their genre, Paradise Lost...pick any album from their discography, to before they were any representation of Death Metal or Doom, any album from Paradise Lost's discography would show anyone with an appreciation to what a good 'Metal' album sounds like, because what Disturbed has always played was a sorry excuse of a band wanting to be both Pantera and Iron Maiden at the same time, but Disturbed can't pull that off and never will.
That being said! I have the new Disturbed album too, but I did not buy it, it was 'gifted' to me. I've listened to it front to back, twice now, and it's not far beyond average, matter of fact it's just average. The Vengeful One was a song I felt was a lot better than many other songs in the bands catalog, and the new album does have other good tracks on it, but it failed to hold my attention, and it has been the case for me ever since their very first album hit my ears in middle school. Any way you slice it, Disturbed is an average band with capable musicians choosing to go the easy route of playing radio friendly music. As for my recent Metal 'purchase', I have the new Soilwork album, The Ride Majestic. That's an album I can recommend. |

Um. I'm not so sure about that.
