Honestly these new Metallica singles and having re-listened to some of their older albums has me questioning whether Metallica were any good to begin with (I’ve heard fans claim they sold out with Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets). If Darkness Had a Son is similar to Confusion and Here Comes Revenge from Hardwired but worse. Like most Metallica songs after 1988, it tries to sound dark and heavy but it doesn’t. The song, like others, constantly shifts between trying to sound dark and heavy, to just pop rock (All Nightmare Long and Here Comes Revenge did the same). This is what happens when they try to appeal to both the masses and hardcore fans. Also, Lars’ drumming was terrible. At least Kirk Hammett finally got a writing credit this time.

I hope 72 Seasons is Metallica’s last album, because they’re all getting old and can’t play or write music like they could in the 80s. None of the singles released so far have been interesting.

I never laughed so hard on Lizzo doing Rammstein it was bad

@Dashie41 YT
I’m sorry what?

@LeoNero
It was on Twitter Lizzo was doing Rammstein Du Hast it was bad

Why were you expecting from some soul woman to do a good heavy metal impression?

What movie has the best soundtrack in your opinion?
My 2 favorites are Top Gun: Maverick and Interstellar

I love the soundtrack for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The movie may have had issues and a bad reputation, but the music is spectacular. A lot of it feels like it’d be great for a superhero movie. I’d love it if that movie’s soundtrack was reused for a better movie. And let’s not forget the legendary Linkin Park song New Divide.

@14Fan
My personal candidates:
Baby Driver
The Fifth Element
Forrest Gump
Shrek 2

From those soundtracks i’ve heard, Shaft, Super Fly and Wild Style.

Tomorrow new Enslaved Haken and return of Sortilege

I look at the new releases from KManriffs on Twitter

On this day 24 years ago, British singer Dusty Springfield passes away from cancer at 59. She leaves behind two UK top ten albums, a UK number one hit (You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me) and 9 top ten hits. In the US, she has 4 top ten hits.

@Mr.Myoozik
I always loved her song “What Do You Do When Love Dies?”

@Dashie41 YT
That Falling In Reverse single was awful, I hated every note of it.

Journey had really good taste in album art.

@SleepySteve
They do, I really want to know who their graphic designer were

@SleepySteve
The fourth album cover is kinda weird and creepy, but I generally agree with their album covers being fire - especially the ones for “Departure” and “Escape”!

@SleepySteve
Yeah Journey’s music isn’t that great but their album covers are kind of good.

Now Gentle Giant, on the other hand, is an amazing band with not so good album covers, particularly Acquiring the Taste.

The other album covers aren’t that bad (The Power and the Glory’s cover is pretty good). The one above is really the only bad one.

I think the greatest album cover would have to go to Jethro Tull’s Thick as a Brick solely for the amount of effort they put into it. They made a whole newspaper, wrote entire articles. It took just as much work as the album itself.

@Mr.Myoozik
The first three were from Stanley Mouse.

@Starless
I always liked the album art for GG’s debut, because it’s iconic and just straight up encapsulated their band name!

@SleepySteve
Ah, true - Of Grateful Dead fame

@SleepySteve
Dude has massive skills as an artist

@Mr.Myoozik
He is legit one of the totems of the Concert Poster art world!
