I downloaded the mastered for iTunes version of Death Magnetic last year and I'm finding unfriggin' 3 a bit more tolerable now - not much worse than I & II in my books. I didn't like the unofficial fan masters of the album as they didn't sound Metallica enough to me somehow. So I'd been listening to the unmastered Guitar Hero III mixes with just a limiter applied to bring them up to volume.5 worst Metallica songs:
1. The Unforgiven III
2. Purify
3. Invisible Kid
4. Am I Savage?
5. Bad Seed
June:Some monthly favourites...
April:
![]()
1. Smoulder - Violent Creed of Vengeance
Huge step up from the first album imo.
![]()
2. VoidCeremony - Threads of Unknowing
Death metal in the sweet spot where tech and prog meet.
![]()
3. Killer Kin - Killer Kin
70's proto-punk revivalism.
![]()
4. Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good!
Tiny let down that the best tracks ended up being the early release singles aside, nu-disco queen doin' her thing.
![]()
5. Liquid Shit - Repulsive Bodies
Sounds like Melvins went death metal.
May:
![]()
1. The Bretwaldas of Heathen Doom - Summoning the Gatekeepers
Crusty doomy black heavy metal for working class curmudgeons.
![]()
2. Caprahed - Caprahed
Phil's post-Lucifer's Fall solo project. Great Aussie doom.
![]()
3. The Hell - The Hell
Noisy snotty Cleveland hardcore punk, pure 80's.
![]()
4. Galvanizer / Morbific - Galvanizer / Morbific
Two killer bands, but Morbific's side is vastly superior.
![]()
5. Khanate - To Be Cruel
Liked this more than I expected, especially the final track. Never was huge on this band but I might have to go back through their stuff.
They seem to have focused on letting the doom do doomy things a bit more, so a step up in Bloopbooks. Either way, a lot cooler than having 2 albums trying to be almost identical.View attachment 33735
3. Static Abyss - Aborted from Reality
Slight step down from the first album imo but still killer doomy death metal from Reifert & Wilkinson.
