How a band who were so, so good could become so utterly inept, it's fascinating. Meh. There's always going to be a place in my heart for Papa Het (who let's face it is going to end checking out on us in a rehab facility at some point in the next two decades). But I cannot stand anything that comes out of the Danish midgets mouth, especially after he did a no-show at Download 2004 which I am still marginally annoyed about... 2 Quote

Infected - The The Introducing the Hardline according to Terence Trent-D'arby Stop Making sense - Talking Heads Handsworth Revolution - Steel Pulse My concern is that future generations probably won't know what an album is in the first place 3 2 Quote
Schultzee Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Extreme II Pornograffitti is a great album which is overlooked because of the success of 'More than Words'. There are some good rock tunes on there and some really great guitar playing. I think you get this all the time where one of the singles off an album is a massive hit. 1 Quote

I never realised what a whiny voice Kirk Hammett has! You're right about Kirk . I saw him on you tube unboxing one of those bos sets, and he was doing my head in . So so whiny 1 Quote

If "you could be mine" was on Appetite then all other music could cease, perfection itself would have been reached. 1 Quote

My nomination for future appreciated currently sunk with hardly a trace and barely appreciated in the first place album is The Travelling Wilburys. One hit 'single' got airplay for awhile, 'Handle Me With Care', then zippity nada except the occasional play on Classic Hits of late. 1 Quote

I'd been saving up Master of Puppets, apparently the undisputed greatest metal album of all time, for decades. In February of this year, I thought the moment for this massive treat to myself had come. I got myself nicely excited by reacquainting myself with Kill 'Em All, and getting to know Ride The Lightning, and then..... meh. I mean, it's okay, I suppose. I listened to it 7 times in a row* and haven't touched it since. So to get back to the thread's topic, albeit a little facetiously: Ride The Lightning, a properly exciting album** * yes, I was counting, there was a lockdown and I was desperate for things to do.

No argument from me. Revisiting these albums and feeling a little anti-climatic with it .. I don't know. I think words like groundbreaking are a bit of a cliche but when those albums were first released, at the time, yes, the whole thing was blowing peoples minds, it was such a new sound coming through. I don't even think I have done it justice summing it up in that sentence, to be honest. Personally, I wouldn't say MoP is the undisputed metal album of all time, but all of those early Metallica albums have rightly deserved their top spots in metal history.

In your opinion yes. It's not mandatory to have to think certain bands/albums are the greatest, the epitome. There are several BCers who don't like The Beatles and that's fine. Their choice, their taste. 2 Quote

Guest Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Is Jane's Addiction's comeback album Strays any good, or is it just that it really does it for me? Kinda not trusting my opinion on this one. I get the impression that JA fans don't care for it too much. But I love it. Quote

Not up to Nothing's Shocking or Ritual but a solid album, I'd say. Quote

Hellzero Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 By the way, anything by Emitt RHODES has always been hugely forgotten. Maybe because he is know as The one man Beatles... Quote
