Black MetalVenom

Rated 6/10

It’s funny being called black metal before black metal became what black metal is today. I’m just going to try to say black metal as much as possible. Not my favorite of this wave, that’d be Iron Maiden, but I appreciate it being a precursor to the thrash scene in America (2.5/5)

I didn’t have much to say other than the percussion was nice and it all blended together. So much so that the album restarted and it took me a couple songs to realize (2.5/5)

Back when I listened to classic rock pretty exclusively this wouldn’t be the Doors album I’d reach for but I really enjoyed it this time around. The blues influences really shine through and Morrison sounds great with the little grit in his voice (3.5/5)

HATER POST: Maaaan fuck the Eagles, I’m sorry, fuck Eagles because the band is as grammatically stupid as the music is boring. Hotel California mystifies me of how people could tolerate that slog for so many years. How do you make a guitar solo sound so fucking tedious!? I looked up some lyrics out of curiosity and the explanation given on Genius through an interview with Don Henley only reinforced my hatred. Dude sounds like a grade A asshat. Rest of the album sucks too, life in the fast lane blows, new kid in town blows, the other tracks aren’t even memorable enough to list. I imagine the record label made them double up on Wasted Time as a warning to consumers much like a parental advisory sticker.

Rated 2/10

Very odd. Sounded like a second hand Wii party game with a British twink punching in vocals. Actually if you take those dance scenes from Balan Wonderworld and overlaid these songs it would fit perfectly (1.5/5)

I think this is the first “cover” album I’ve gotten (standards count as covers right?). This was nice, and I think I’m officially a fan of Willie Nelson now (3.5/5)
