02.22.20 | Check the description. Been meaning to post this list for the last couple weeks, but making lists on mobile is fucking annoying. Finally busted out the laptop for the first time in forever, so made this list, updated my favorite bands, and finally was able to upload a new profile picture lol |
sixdegrees

sixdegrees
02.22.20 | maybe i'm thinking of a different user |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.22.20 | Omg you like ABR too? Not enough fans of that band lol |
SymbolicInTime
02.22.20 | different user, promise lol |
Viriathus
02.22.20 | Hi TheStorySoFar
lolno at rating anything ABR above Misery Signals |
Sinternet
02.22.20 | ditch queen theyre shite for kids who failed theatre school |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.22.20 | Kids at drama school listen exclusively to Kacey, Gidge and Mountain Goats yes |
SymbolicInTime
02.22.20 | That's TheWonderSoFar to you, DeadBitchAlexis. Tbf, the ONLY reason that ABR album landed a 5 with me is some very sentimental shit.
@Johnny hell yeah. I dont like all of their albums, but I'd say all but two of them are worth something lol |
sixdegrees
02.22.20 | I thought this was the latest brendan schroer/necrotica account for the longest time post-name change ngl |
SymbolicInTime
02.22.20 | @Sinternet well Queen II is their only record for me that even hits a 4.5 so meh. Nothing else is remotely as good in their discog
@sixdegrees dont even know who that user is tbh lol |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.22.20 | Aquemini is the only option here |
SymbolicInTime
02.22.20 | I've been meaning to get to that one more, probabky been a year since I actually listened through that one front to back. Been on too much of a metal kick the last couple months though |
chemicalmarriage
02.22.20 | Just keep listening to more music. If you go into every record judging if it's a 5 or not will just take away from the record imo. Let it happen when it happens man. |
SymbolicInTime
02.22.20 | Well, my main goal with listening to new music in general is to find new favorites. Unless I'm looking to build a playlist of a particular mood or something like that. Obviously I still find joy in and frequently listen to albums that aren't 5s, was just excited at the prospect of being close to having a "top 10" is all. It's not like I listen to a record and get disappointed at it if it's not a 5 lol |
botulist
02.22.20 | these are mostly terrible albums. have you tried the ledz zeppelinz? |
SymbolicInTime
02.22.20 | I dont think a zeppelin made of led would float very well u jackal |
Shemson
02.22.20 | The obvious miss imo is you have Maiden and Slayer but no Megadeth, Rust in Peace is a five if you like thrash or NWOBHM
If you wanna try different genres try Mezzanine by Massive Attack or Aventine by Agnes Obel for the fiveist fives there are |
Sniff
02.22.20 | Just jam warning |
Viriathus
02.22.20 | "That's TheWonderSoFar to you, DeadBitchAlexis"
shit, in my head I was thinking TheWonderSoFar and ending up typing TheStorySoFar and didnt realize it til now. |
SymbolicInTime
02.22.20 | @Shemson I've definitely heard Rust in Peace several times, but it's only been once here and there over the course of several years, so I should probably fix that. Also, I listen to music purely on Spotify and only have access to the 04 Remaster. I saved the other two you mentioned to check sometime, thanks!
@flatlanderwoman I'm not a fan of industrial so I'm going to have to skip the first two, but I added the other 4 to my library to spin sometime. Thanks! |
Dedes
02.22.20 | Man there's some good albums here bro. I know it's the pick I've prolly rec'd to everyone and their mother but uhh jam Above the Weeping World by Insomniun. |
Casavir
02.22.20 | Psychotic Waltz - A Social Grace
This one has a good chance, I think. |
Bedex
02.22.20 | while I disagree with a lot of the picks here kudos for being picky with your 5s dude it's good to keep it a selective club |
teamster
02.22.20 | I can't 5 Powerslave either. The production just holds it back a bit. I love the Live After Death versions of those songs more. |
SymbolicInTime
02.22.20 | @Dedes niiice I love melodeath. Have only heard Shadows of the Dying Sun from them, will definitely check that
@Casavir oh hell yeah a Casavir rec! Added it to my library, thanks
@Bedex thanks!
@teamster it's actually Flash of the Blade (that main riff is gold though, just not big on the verses) and The Duelists that hold it back for me, both great songs but they just aren't up to snuff with the rest of the album imo |
onionbubs
02.23.20 | i remember i used to rec you the lawrence arms a lot during rec comps and you really dug them, so the lawrence arms - oh! calcutta! |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.23.20 | fuck I need to listen to Horse Rotovator |
SymbolicInTime
02.23.20 | Sweet onibro thanks! Saved
At the very least, by the time I check all these, I'll probably have a bunch more 4.5s lol |
Shuyin
02.23.20 | Poison the well - you come before you
hopesfall - arbiter
hail the sun- wake
the mire - glass cathedrals
the chariot - one wing
training for utopia - plastic soul impalement
gigan - undulating waves
ulcerate - the destroyers of ALL |
SymbolicInTime
02.23.20 | Nice, hopsefall, hail the sun, the chariot, and ulcerate have been on my radar for a while now but have never peeped anything. Thanks! |
Shuyin
02.23.20 | Man, I hope you dig these, specially Ulcerate, it can be a hard listen at first but its so fucking awesome.. plus they have my all time favourite drummer |
SymbolicInTime
02.23.20 | @Shuyin I love a band with a standout drummer, so that has me excited
@flatlanderwoman I'd be beyond shocked if I find any joy in that lou Reed record, but all saved. Thanks
I think I'm going to make a follow up list once I get through all of these lovely recs with my rating for em |
SymbolicInTime
10.29.20 | Dead Kennedys got the 10th slot
