What album is the “St Anger” of some otherwise great bands? “St Anger” is the much maligned 8th studio album by metal kings Metallica. Inner turmoil within the band, personal demons, and a rogue snare drum contributed to this being the most loathed of Metallicas releases, and rightfully so. What are some other examples of bands losing their direction and releasing a “shit sandwich?” submitted by /…

I’ll start! In my opinion, the best Hallow…

Reversing an earlier post, What band’s greatest hits album is better known than any of their studio albums? I nominate The Steve Miller Band.

How important are album covers to you? I love album art, I’ve always loved it, it’s such an important part of the music for me. I had a argument with a group of people recently claiming album covers are not important at all, I disagreed, when you look at a album cover, you look at it like a painting, and when you stare at it longer, you appreciate what is behind that painting, the am…

What is your personal favorite concept album ever? I’ll start with a left field answer… The Streets – A Grand Don’t Come For Free It’s an album by a British rapper about losing his money, the rest of the song is mostly about his relatively mundane life in London, and the final track has two endings that I won’t spoil.

Your fav artist’s album is releasing two days before you see them live Do you listen to the album before you see them or do you wait until after the show so you can hear the songs live for the first time? Asking because this exact scenario has come up for me and initially I fully planned on listening to the album first, but I’m now on the fence. It’s also an electronic artist, so the live versions won’t be that muc…

Best album openers? I’m curious about what everyone’s favorite opening tracks are. Why is your favorite? How does it set the mood for the rest of the album? I’ve always enjoyed Hidden Place, the opening track of Björk’s Vespertine. The whole album is great, but the way Hidden Place sets an ethereal/transcendental feeling straight from the get go is incredible. …

What are some examples of live shows you’ve seen where the music is just elevated to another level compared to the album With some bands their live show is a lot like the album stuff, not that that’s a bad thing at all, we go see bands because we love the music they put out. But there are some artists I’ve seen where the live show is just next level in terms of energy/creativity/musicality and it just elevates the whole experience and turns the songs in to somethi…
