Some classic Hungarian metal by a band called Ossian.

So I just discovered the Swedish band named ABBA a few weeks ago.

They sound pretty guds. Sounds very Eastern Euro folkish sometimes tbh

That music column in the CD I went through for the Time Travel Thread gave me inspiration to do a music review. I'm gonna take a look (a listen?) at Metallica. Won't be a comprehensive review, but I just have this gut feeling I'm gonna find something I want to make note of.
I think this will be a short series I'll post in the next week, going on bit by bit. So let's listen some Metallica songs, although I'm gonna try excluding the most played ones.

Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield were the founder, among their first recruits they had Dave Mustain as lead guitarist. What I read about them made the impression that both Lars and James were quite driven musicians with some ideas what music they wanna play. However Mustain was an outstanding musician with written material he already had. Their first album, Kill 'Em All, is largely his work what Lars and James kneaded through, adding or maybe removing here and there, changing lyrics.
A controversy arouse from this fact, because Mustain was booted from the band due to his extreme drinking habit and aggression - still they kept and played his riffs. He gave them so much some of his stuff greets us even from the second album Ride the Lightning.
Ofc, he is credited for his work, but was a long running issue metal magazines liked to pick on, and fans of Megadeth (Mustain's band he founded after he left) and Metallica getting angered by.
The Four Horsemen originally was titled as Mechanix and Mustain featured that original song on the Megadeth album: Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!
Jump in the Fire was also largely written by him.
In case of Seek and Destroy he is credited and it is unknown how much of his - the solo for sure -, it is a possibility that this was another already existing song.
For the last one I included (Anesthesia) - Pulling teeth, since I can introduce Cliff Burton with that. He was a great bass player. I read they booted their original bassist because he did not really contribute anything worthwhile just followed. Burton however played a nice solo both Lars and Hetfield noticed, this one they put onto their first album.

Burton also was a creative talent with prominent role in making music from the moment of his recruitment. This led to the birth of the varied palette of Ride the Lightning, their second album. They still had some leftover riffs from Mustain, and had Burton's acknowledged grip on musical theory. From the 8 songs of the album, he was credited at 5, so he was an active contributor not just in the theory.
What to include?
Ride the Lightning for Mustain, it features what he calls the "Spider Chord Riff". According to him, the melodic intro is from Lars.
The Call of Ktulu, again because of Mustain, the demo title was When The Hell Freezes over, supposedly. He said the "long drawn-out part in the middle" was added after.
Let's put Trapped Under Ice and Creeping Death here too.
The first is just remainder of exclusions - I don't like Escape, and For Whom The Bell Tolls and Fade To Black are just too damn popular (I can understand that they are good songs). I include Creeping Death for the lyrics, it tells the tale of that Biblical story, when Jewish death squads crept through Egypt, butchering the first borns of Egyptians, among them the pharaoh's.
Btw For Whom The Bell Tolls kinda reminds me of One; for Fade to Black they got some flames from the fans, was too slow and clear for OG thrash metal listeners.

Battery starts with a melodic acoustic part, that sure scared the OGs again out of their boots. It's Master of Puppets time. Still with Cliff grinding the bass - credited at only three songs, but he had a large overall impact - this album really delivers. Praised by most, I heard stuff like "THE Thrash Metal Album" and such. Maybe they tried to compensate for the experimenting the fans had to suffer with Ride the Lightning. The songs they produced turned out to be heavier, and finally James found something close to his voice what characterize the rest of his career.
'bout half year after the release of the album, during a tour Burton died in the accident they suffered in their tour bus.
Leper Messiah - Mustain's heritage still creeping onto this album, although disputed, and he isn't credited.
I really like Welcome Home (Sanitarium) and Damage Inc. so these are mandatory to feature.
I was hesitant what to post for fourth. Orion is a nice instrumental song, with Burton in central role, but let's post Disposable Heroes, this feels as some kind of prelude to One from the next album, the...

...And Justice for All. Most of the songs were already composed while Burton still lived and worked with the band. So maybe the continuity between themes what Disposable Heroes and One offers might has to do with that. Or maybe it's just Hetfield writing lyrics. However in the music there is a continuity, the two albums are like one album divided. Except they fucked up the bass line by turning down its volume to -1. The evil rumour says it was to troll the new bassist Jason Newsted, later James and Lars made statements in interviews giving explanations how this reduction of the bass happened, but all justifications sounds made up, lame ass excuses.
Jason was pretty determined to play in the band. For the tryout he learned the whole setlist they played. He was picked, but he had to fill a pretty big shoe. It appears to be that the other members of the band was very fond of Cliff, the talented bassist, so getting over of his death for both personal and professional reasons couldn't be easy. Since most of the album was built on material the band already created with Burton, Jason did not add much to the songs. He is credited at only one.
The live performances I heard (not personally, "too bad I wasn't there") mostly have a section dedicated to this album, a Justice medley, where they play a combination of several chunks of these songs. Today's selection is...
Eye of The Beholder - I like this very much.
The Shortest Straw
The Frayed Ends of Sanity
To Live is to Die - this one is a breddy gud instrumental, with little talk within.

Listening a bit of Soulfly in between. Straight from California instead of Brazil.

The Black Album brought great change. Suddenly they did not really play thrash metal anymore. I think they said something about they wanted to play something new, simpler, shorter (the previous two albums did have quite long songs), but I see three circumstances that changed. First now nothing was left from Burton's heritage. Second, they had Jason Newsted who also had some creative talent up in his sleeves and even had some riffs brought with him from his previous band, Flotsam and Jetsam (although I never heard any of their stuff, so I have zero idea if any similarities exist anywhere). And the third was their new producer Bob Rock, with whom they worked along a new methodology, new type of recording technique, and who apparently had large impact on the sounding and style.
However from the credits one could conclude it's all Hetfield and Ulrich who made everything, others pitching in here and there.
Twelve songs, greater selection than before but I have a hard time to pick. They aren't that good songs to be honest and I really don't want to pick Enter Sandman (I like it but it's a standard to play it in radio, tv, wherever, along with Nothing Else Matters). Oh well, maybe a cover (what I already posted before no doubt).
Don't Tread on Me - Wakey, wakey, do not step on snakey. Certain parts feels like a Black Label Society tune.
Of Wolf And Man - For the Ferences' awoo threads.
My Friend of Misery - the lonely song where Newsted is credited, wanted The God That Failed for that awesome (and simple) bass riff, but oh, well.

The most important thing to know about Load is that they cut their hair short. It can clearly be heard in the groove. The controversial album cover is a photo featuring the artist's load mixed in some cow blood. What a cheapo fuck, he didn't even used his own blood. Well suppose he liked jacking off more than getting cut. I'm not sure who is the greater artist, this fag or the other who paints assholes in hyperreal...
Newsted isn't in the credits, not at one song. Weird because supposedly they kicked out their first bassist being too passive. So maybe that was a bs, or somehow they were fine with Jason's lack of contribution, or he did add to the album but they just did not give his due. This is an extra long album with 14 songs on its list, they spent five years to release it, I found impossible they didn't implemented any of his ideas.
Bob Rock also plays on this album, and as I mentioned he had big influence on their output. He wasn't credited either with anything (else than being the producer). So maybe it's just their definition of "writing" is very strict? Who knows.
I always thought about Metallica's music, that I'm fond of the whole Kill 'Em All (except Phantom Lord) and from the other albums I like various songs. But now that I'm relistening this one, I'd have an easier time to list those tracks I don't like.
Hero of the day
Poor twisted me - This one actually not bad, never think to listen it for some reason.
Mama said - It's a nice song, don't get me wrong, I just don't care for it much. I don't listen to Metallica to listen this.
That's it, these three what I'd skip - and even these are enjoyable. Now the mystery of the fourth pick remains.
Bleeding me - I just searched "Bleeding me cover" on youtube and I found her voice kinda fascinating.

Gimmi fue gimmi fah gimmi dabajabazah
Just reading the tracklist I know that what was true to Load the reverse will be true for Reload. From the long list barely anything I'm fond of, or very memorable, So I'm not sure what criteria I'm gonna use.
Anyway, the cover is now piss and blood, at least this looks like flames. It is very similar to Load, in fact they had large number of songs, and they split them in two, published Load first, then Reload a year later. Newsted is credited at one song.
This thing is running, and I like some stuff from most of the songs and the rest of those songs are pure trash that just don't fit. Instead of thrash.
Oh god, this album sucks balls. I bet they wanted to make an album, they wrote a bunch of songs, they selected the better ones and released Load. Then they had to make a new album sometimes, and they thought fuck it, we're gonna publish the lame ones too, and tell everyone we wanted to do that originally as a double album, it's just we didn't coz reasons.
On the other hand my decision might be harsher because I would expect better from them.
Carpe Diem Baby - groovieeeeee
Where the Wild Things Are - for the Jason credit, also there's a movie with this title I've never seen. The music itself is mostly ok in this song, but not the vocals.
Prince charming - The first 30 seconds are catchy as hell. And when the riff returns, it's breddy gud. The chorus part become almost exactly like a piece form Four Horsemen, and sounds also all right. The stuff in between, with that I've problems with.
Fixxer - groooovy again.

I wanted to stop before St. Anger but what the hell.
Jason left the band before they started recording. He wanted to channel creativity - what (judging from the credits of the songs) they obviously did not allow to found it's way onto the Metallica albums (or was just left out from the credits because of reasons) - into a side project, a band called Echobrain, but he got bullied for this from the rest of the band, I read especially James had reservations him working on something else. Sounds he was jealous. Well Jason left, then toured with Ozzy then played with Voivod and stuff, essentially faded into obscurity gradually.
This album was hyped as "back to the roots" but is there anything common with the old albums, besides now it sounds more like metal and not hard rock? And some long ass songs? Well doesn't matter. Many note the shitty snare sounding like a tin can. Reminding me the sound those colorful rubber toy balls make when slapped.
With this I'm kinda like with Reload, there are parts of the songs which are breddy gud. I think I can find something redeeming in all of them. But that also means I find something painful too.
Some Kind of Monster - I think the base tune is pretty cool, the other stuff is all right too.
Dirty Window - Much rock n roll in there.
Invisible Kid - Never see what he did. They should have cut this shorter, gets monotonous by the end.
The Unnamed Feeling - I like how chaotic this is (some other songs too, but this is a better one in my opinion). Intro is great. That vocal part at 4:55 is very unexpected and weird, but find it I dunno familiar, and pleasant.

This will be a review after the post-last one. Since Reload should have been the last one.
I do not listen much Death Magnetic, I can't recall tunes after I reading the titles, with a couple of notable exceptions. Hetfield sings in a higher pitch he used to, like falsetto or something. I've problems with The Unforgiven over 9000 (with Roman numerals: MCCIↃↃↃ), I wish they would stop with this (although this one might be better than the II). But this album is more of a "back to the roots" than St. Anger, although the sounding feels similar. But they have normal drums and solos. And more thrashy than just edgy.
New face: Rick Rubin the producer of this, and Robert Trujillo is manning the bass - on the previous album both was Bob Rock. From what I read while they played under the direction of Bob Rock, they recorded more in experimental, improvisational fashion, making decisions on the fly, but with Rubin, they sat down first to talk it through, learn the mostly ready songs, and go to the studio and record material, leaving the writing out of there. The tracks do seem more whole, and not some ill fitting patchwork.
Credits I dunno who gets what and how much, I read all the band members participated in writing their shit.
The End of the Line - because why not.
All Nightmare Long - this one I remember and like.
Suicide and Redemption - I like this very very much. Instrumental. Reminding me of NFS 3: Hot Pursuit soundtrack. Great.
Cyanide - This is a quite ok one, the rest of the songs meh, compared, although most has enjoyable parts, wouldn't wrote them off.

In 2016 they released their 10th album, the Hardwired... to Self-Destruct, which I have not listened yet (only one song I think, maybe came out as a single before the album, I dunno). Maybe I'll give it a listen and give a reaction/review of it on the next occasion.
Ofc I'm gonna buy it otherwise Lards will sue my ass.

Very thick sound. The kick drum can be heard perfectly. It's like there would be a giant hollow in the track when it isn't going, the bass is so separated from the higher pitched lines, which don't seem to have that much of a body.
I don't care for Hetfield's vocals, too monotonous, and I hear (as with the previous two albums) some/lot autotune here and there. No soul in that.
Anyway, this copy I got consists of three disks, the first two essentially the album itself, a double one at that, six songs each CDs.
New producer, Greg Fidelman, I dunno if that counts in this case, he was there to mix Death Magnetic, so I assume he is more of a tech guy. The music was basically written solely by James and Lars. Trujillo is credited at one.
- Now That We're Dead - It caught me with the first one and half minute. Much hard rock in there, let's call it very hard rock. Some nice groovy parts too.
- Halo on Fire - just because the outro of the song, how it turns into that solo. Otherwise I dunno.
- Confusion - the first riff, after the intro, catchy as fugg.
- Am I Savage? - I am, man, yes I am. Funny. Again, catchy riff after the intro. Groovy.
Some more notes after I finished the album. For me the vocals kinda ruins every song. Older tunes meet us on the CD2, the inspirations are clear in Here Comes Revenge (The Shortest Straw), Murder One (Welcome Home), and Spit Out the Bone (Metal Militia). If I wanna be harsh I would say they were ripping off themselves (actually Mustain and Burton, kek). Such cases.

Back to posting songs. Here's some from the band called
"Dead Kennedys". A very aggressive American punk band from California with a really unique sound to them. I used to listen to them a lot a few years ago, but stopped for some reason. Here's some songs

What are good love songs? These two are great. First one is Madball.

Dumping over an hour of obscure psychedelic/garage rock music from the 60s. Almost every song that plays is a 10/10 IMHO. I'm sure bernd will find at least 5 songs that they'll fall in love with.

Gonna posts some songs from Death Grips, a /mu/ favorite.

Some people like them, some people hate them. I'll just dump it and leave it up to bernd to decide if it is good or not for bernd.

Leaving some songs from an ironically unironically good artist called "Lil B". If you look closely at all of his music, you can notice that most rappers and hip hop groups have taken a huge inspiration from all of his earlier songs and rap styles. He paved the way for a lot of current artists. His songs are a hoot, so don't ever take him to seriously.

Not sure which thread was this song posted, Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner by Warren Zevon. I listened into a bunch of covers found on yt, but still this one is the best by Lauren O'Connel. She's the only one who actually put some creativity into her version. I really wished at least one good pure acoustic guitar cover can be found. There are some I did not listen, but did many and they were all trash. It doesn't need to be virtuoso or flawless or faithful to the last note, just some jammy type, unique.

The other song is breddy fun, with good tune. Grabbed from >>>/ausneets/

>>45859
Now that's a fun fact.
>never released officially.
Yeah, all those wild rock 'n' roll, the opiate of the declining West.
Is it known when that article was published? Their band was named temporarily Omega Red Star when they had a tour in 1968 in England.
The text says:
>To the dear readers of the "POBECHUK" newspaper, with greetings, by OMEGA RED STAR band.
Then the signatures. It seems the middle on the right is Kóbor's.

>>45864
>Is it known when that article was published?

Article from 1970. Journal "Ровесник" (translated as "person of the same age" or "same-age peer") was journal for youths about music and movies, it often had articles about foreign rock (of course very censored).

>Yeah, all those wild rock 'n' roll, the opiate of the declining West.

Some bands for some reasons were allowed, or allowed partially. Even in system like USSR it is hard to be fully closed from foreign cultural influence, so Soviet youths listened to rock-n-roll on underground-made vinyls and cassettes, but some officially allowed music also was released by state companies. Some selected records of Beatles, Rolling Stones or Doors were allowed (although mostly in late USSR), some jazz etc. Also some singers who were friendly to USSR also were officially printed, like Dean Reed.

There were also local rock'n'roll and hard rock, sometimes not that bad.

Saw this post on BG by SlovBerg or Mozart being bad. His twitter is ded so this is the only way I can get Serious Discussion posts like this for tiem beings.

Lors reaction? And should I post this on this thread or another one?
