So what are you listening to?

High on Fire - the Art of Self Defense, the 25th ann. remix and it sounds fantastic. It is superheavy yet there is enough 'air' to hear and understand exactly what is going on. This is heavy as heavy should be.
All Hail the Great Shirtless one!

Just had a listen to Clockwork Angels - I can honestly say that there's not a single song on there I would seek out to listen to again. Pity as it was their swansong. In an attempt to be positive It was marginally better than Snakes and Arrows, apart from Far Cry which is prob the only song I enjoy listening to from the last 2 albums and would enjoy hearing again.

The Beatles - Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. A mind-scaldingly brilliant album that's lost none of its capacity to astonish, all these years later. Actually - calling it a "brilliant album" feels wrong; it exists in a category of its own. I often imagine what it must have been like to listen to this transcendent record in the summer of 1967. I imagine that by the dying chord of Day In The Life, people must have been sitting slack-jawed with thousand yard stares; their brains dripping out of their ears.

Rush - A Farewell To Kings. The years have been unkind to it; even unkinder than the present day was in 1977. It's still a duffer, but now it's even more embarrassing. Some of the synth parts sound comical now.

I like the way they did Day in the Life. It sounds purposely as an afterthought, which it kind of was, made up from 2 separate parts John and Paul had not been able to finish yet. It is truly amazing how that one turned out as so much more than the mere sum of its parts.

I agree it is a masterpiece, one I now only hope to find in mono, on vinyl.

Just get the mono CD and put some cushions in front of your speakers.
