I kind of like her voice. But then I do have a bit of a thing for weird female singers like Björk and Fever Ray and so forth. As for the album of the year, I once again have no idea at this point. Currents by Tame Impala? The opener is certainly a strong candidate for song of the year. The new...

The guy behind Beyond Twilight. You should check out The Devil's Hall of Fame, it's good. Weird, but good. Personally I think Book of Souls has as many great songs as it has discs. But that's just me.

Nevermore and Legend are the two best songs on the album, but I didn't vote yet 'cause I can't decide which one to pick as the third one. I know it won't be Swansong, though, that's my least favourite. I mean, I'm glad it's there because it serves a purpose on the album, but the chorus...

Fantastic post there Ken. I've yet to hear Underworld, probably going to hold it off until I get around to picking up a physical copy. Pretty sure I'll like it, though. No you don't.

^--- I doubt it's actually their best, but telling someone they're delusional for feeling that way without even having heard the album yourself just makes it sound like you can't wait to not like it.

Not a huge fan of this one based on the first listen. I prefer Nevermore.

I like it. The previous singles would be an obvious point of comparison, and I have to say I prefer both Set the World on Fire and End of Innocence to this one. But it's a pretty good song anyway.

We've no way of knowing it's just about money. Probably a lot more complicated than that.

Never been too keen on Nightwish (though I do respect Holopainen's talent as a composer) and the lead single for the new album is definitely nothing spectacular. But Floor is easily my favourite singer of theirs. Hand Cannot Erase is good stuff, 3 Years Older and Happy Returns are my...

Yet to listen to a single album released this year, looking forward to hearing Vulnicura and Hand. Cannot. Erase. among others.

I understand why someone might see Radiohead's music as art for art's sake, but I still don't abide them being lumped together with Muse. I get none of the same vibe personally. A lot of people have artists or bands they love to hate regardless of whether it's warranted or not, and critical...

Don't lump those two together, post-2000 Radiohead rules. And while Jackson is a legend and a totally different thing in terms of style, I don't think he was ever a part of anything nearly as cool as Kid A. But yeah, ridiculous comparison, I know. I don't feel like listing non-metal genres I...

For me, trying to get something productive done while listening to music is a disaster. Even if it's something ambient I end up paying way too much attention to it. It would probably work with gaming or something like that, but I've never seen the point since stuff like that tends to have a...

Depends on the occasion, but usually I do nothing else.

^--- A pale shadow of how good they would eventually get on Viva la Vida and Mylo Xyloto with a little help from Eno.
