New Hammers of Misfortune! (2CD)

[skyrefuge]

I think I like TLY the most, though I don't know what my opinion is worth since I'm not extremely gay for any of them (I find them all quite "solid" and "respectable").

[Demilich]

You're gay for the gay stuff, am I rite here?

 

[JayKeeley]

The songwriting was also lacking a lot of the magic of the first two if you ask me.
Some of that had to do with that key element of Scalzi's vocals, but moreso the songs just lacked the distinctive character and charisma that made them HoM.

Yeah, that's probably valid. There's no doubt that some of the stuff was remarkable, lyrics included, but yeah, I hear what you're saying.

Trot out the dead

 

[Matt]

Awesome! All HoM's albums rule.

 

[Susperia]

I've listened to The Bastard many many many more times than any of the others. At this point it's like visiting an old friend.

There's nothing special about the songs and the heavier bits are just simple palm-mute chuga chugas.

I never knew Jonathan lacked ears. You'd think in his line of work he'd be able to have someone look at that for him.

It's all about the songwriting, mate. Stuff like musicianship and production etc is so secondary to me (even though I think they're spot on in both categories). The Bastard was recorded on dual analog 8-tracks....couldn't ask for anymore.

But look man, don't get humpy because you know we love you no matter what.

I'm sending thee a @->-

 

[NAD]

Neat.

I add a lot to this discussion.

 

[Krilons Resa]

just entered studio

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

hope it's better than Locust

 

[NAD]

Me too. Didn't hate that one, but it fell off the radar really quick.

Scalzi is still out, right? That concerns me. I'll buy it the day it is released either way.

 

[dorian gray]

ME TOO

 

[Captain Beard]

No Scalzi = no buy.

 

[Reign in Acai]

This band has six albums already? Boy did they peak early and just fall off planet earth. Kinda reminds me of RC
