... think I am perhaps regretting not buying one of the signed albums after all, if only for the novelty MEGATHINK

#

but I'd just spent so much on other stuff on the trip and they were not my fav albums so thought I should be responsible and not opt for one more frivolous purchase

responsibility be DAMNED

#

oh wait. it's available on their site, same price including shipping as if I'd bought it in person - I am free from REGRET

hoary pewter
#

It was a banger recorded and even better live

visual ginkgo
#

Yea same thing with DEVIL

hoary pewter
#

True

#

eugh, not fond of the lyrics in planet zero
"they're cancelling your feelings" "you might be woke but not awake" "your theory might be critical, but who's in charge? if victimhood is currency then you won't starve" cringe cringe cringe

#

2000's rock band notable for having the most number one singles (17) on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts with, beating out Three Days Grace by 1 and Van Halen by 4

#

I like Amaryllis

#

the album specifically

rancid nebula

#

idk but I'm sure if you've listened to any significant rock radio station in the past 15 years you know at least one of their songs

rancid nebula
#

one being an alt rock channel that plays some pretty bad stuff sometimes

#

an indie channel thats actually really good

#

and a 90s channel that cycles the same 20 overplayed songs

lime wedge
#

I guess try cycling through a few of their top songs on spotify to see if you recognize any

#

second chance and cut the cord are their most popular

rancid nebula

#

?

rancid nebula
# lime wedge ?

second edition by public image ltd and cut the crap by the clash

#

they have similar names

lime wedge
#

I figured there was a reference there I was missing

rancid nebula
lime wedge
#

of course something with crap in the name would be crap

rancid nebula
#

ive heard people say the demos are quite nice but the production is like the shittiest production job ever

#

the song this is england is decent though

lime wedge
#

you might need to start a thread for the clash

#

i've only actually listened to amaryllis, attention attention, and sound of madness, but heres my ranking thus far

Amaryllis > The Sound of Madness > ATTENTION ATTENTION

#

based on the singles i'm sure planet zero is going to fall way below attention attention

#

I did not enjoy attention attention but at least it had like a positive messaging
I really don't think we need, in 2022, a 13 song concept album (with 7 transitional tracks placed randomly throughout because why not) about how modern life is literally 1984 because of wOkE cANcEl cULtUrE

#

but hey maybe it'll blow me away

lime wedge
#

having now listened to Threat to Survival it goes between sound of madness and attention attention for me

#

I think they definitely fumbled their transition into being more mainstream/poppy and incorporating more electronic rock (which I guess is threat to survival and later attention attention) which is weird seeing as that seems like a natural direction for them to go post-Amaryllis

#

no way im seriously the only shinedown fan

#

I’m here. Shinedown is one of my favorite rock bands.

IT IS OUT!

#

I'm buying the planet zero cd tbh

#

i give it a 9.5 out of 10

#

for first listen at least

#

0 skip worthy songs

#

didnt look over any actually

lime wedge
#

god

#

this new album sucks

#

like impressively so

#

I didn’t think they could top themselves after ATTENTION ATTENTION but clearly they have

hoary pewter
#

i respectfully disagree

#

attention attention was very different but good

#

shinedown doesnt have a weak record tbh

lime wedge
#

they don’t

#

because they have 2

#

planet zero is just like way too messy of an album

#

it’s supposed to have a concept and yet almost none of the songs are actually connected to the concept

#

the only real story is delivered through those obnoxious interludes that break any semblance of album flow, which this album is already lacking because the songs constantly bounce between standard hard rock and these acoustic ballads

#

and whatever message they’re trying to push through the interludes and a couple songs (title track and America Burning) is so out of touch and lacking in nuance

#

it’s 2022, we do not need an album about how “soon nobody will be able to say or do ANYTHING without getting CANCELLED by the WOKE MOB!!!”

hoary pewter
#

maybe it doesnt flow

#

but

#

the songs are all good imo

lime wedge
#

nah

#

most of them are really bad

#

they have some of the worst lyrics and clunkiest melodies

#

and they too often stray from what they’re good at with 5 different acoustic ballads

#

none of them are good, with awful lyrics that fail to portray any legitimate emotion and serve no purpose in the structure of the album

hoary pewter
#

ok

hoary pewter
lime wedge
#

those are more ballad-y songs but none of those are slow, sappy, and none of them are exclusively acoustic

hoary pewter
#

none of the new songs are exclusively acoustic except what you wanted

#

frontmost, so I have actual places to put my legs, as close as possible while still seeing the whole stage

#

unfortunately they don't sell posters, which is what I normally opt for, and the signed CDs are not my favourite albums </3

I'd immediately jump on an amaryllis, sound of madness, or threat to survival but don't think the latest two strike my fancy so much

hoary pewter

#

few songs from them have stuck to me so far, though I'll try planet zero again soon to see if my opinion's changed

#

I'm also fond of the ones with more chill parts, which might be a part of it :p

hoary pewter
#

a symptom of being human🤩🤩

hoary pewter
#

i also like the simplistic little short pieces in between songs but i dont think they're really necessary

#

i enjoy the differing sounds all throughout, from hard rock back to simple and slow
