Doctor J Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Middle age millionaires, completely disassociated from that which made them great in the first place, struggle and fail to capture anything of merit while unable to relate to each other or their music, incapable of critiquing or being critiqued, then subtly blame the whole mess on Bob Rock who, wisely or unwisely and under great pressure from management, went shoulder deep to extract turgid offerings from far, far up their rectal passages and piece it all together in some sort of cohesive and musical way. What more is there to understand? It was embraced all the way to the charity shops. The documentary is wonderful, as is Berlinger's book about the experience, but the soundtrack should be buried under lava 😁 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Ha! Ha! Ha! by Ultravox! So that the future generations understand which band Muse has simply plagiarised without ever mentioning it. Sad but true 😉 , just listen to this gem by Ultravox! and you should understand where the inspiration comes from.

uk_lefty Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Bad for Good by Jim Steinman seems to be getting a lot of praise now he's passed, whereas it was always considered naff and a bit of a joke as far as I'm aware due to him not waiting for Meatloaf to be healthy enough to sing it. Longest sentence I've ever written on BC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Spiders Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I never got all the rage directed at St Anger. I admit the snare's a bit upfront in the mix but I appreciate the lack of guitar solos. Then again I think both Load and Reload would've made a cracking single album, with the weaker fillers dumped, and better than the overrated pre-black album years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Sparks - propaganda Klaus Schulze - moon dawn Groundhogs - Hogwash Atomic Rooster - In hearing of Rush-Rush Stormtroopers of death - speak English or die Hawkwind - Hawklords Tangerine dream - underwater sunlight Crosby stills Nash and young - deja vu Jean michel jarre - waiting for Cousteau Kings x - anything really overkill- taking over Nuckear assault - the plague Swamp terrorists - grim stroke disease Thats enough to be getting on with 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a mish - mash really . Not necesssarilly the artists most well known albums ( except s o d ) , but hidden gems if you like those bands . Then again propaganda is probably one of the best albums by sparks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Regarding metallica . Was a huge fan . Met cliff and co back in the day . Have all of their albums ( except lulu ) but let's be honest ..everything pre black album is their golden era when they were the underdogs and were what was needed at the time. Sandman could have easily been on the earlier albums blah blah blah . Yes the load / reload should have been a much shorter album . I last saw them on the last tour they played at the o2 . Still good , but tamer of course as you'd expect . To me , they now are just kiss2 ( money money money ) I offloaded the ride the lightning box set despite being at that Lyceum gig It was unopened . I offloaded the live binge and purge vhs box set . Why? Because they are as doctor j said 😸 I have the monster dvd , watched it twice . However ,it is too cringey to arch again . Ricky gervais style . I still have the puppets tour poster framed in my hallway as I guess it's " classic " but I am so borerd of them now . I may sell eventually , but I 'm looking for a decent poster to replace it with . The rush presto album cover would be cool . Not so dad rock 😸 Anyway ,back to the topic in hand .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I love that. I think it's brilliant. It's Spinal Tap in the real world. How a band who were so, so good could become so utterly inept, it's fascinating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Camel - Stationary Traveller. Just superb Rick Wakeman - 1984. Wakeman doesn't like it. Tim Rice wrote the lyrics but his name is teenyweeny on the sleeve and I dont think he's a fan.But Chaka Khan's vocals on Robot Man and Julia are stunning. U2 - Songs of Innocence. Overshadowed by the iTunes delivery fiasco, but has some heartfelt songs.p Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. Not the CD issue with "When the tigers broke free" shoehorned into side one badly. But the rest of the album isn't bad, and The Gunner's Dream is one of those songs I wish I could write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
