12.18.23 | Nice to The Smile high up there! I probably should check out 2; I know John Zorn's got a ton of stuff out there. |

12.18.23 | Spinoza is genuinely one of my favorite works by Zorn, so amidst his giant discog, I’d highly recommend it. With his stuff now on streaming services, there’s no better time than the present |

12.18.23 | 28 and 44 made 2022 for me. I played them both way too much. |

12.18.23 | >Aevirterne, Hath, Gaerea, Dark Throne, Cosmic Putrefaction, An Abstract Illusion, Blut, CoL
yup, returned to all of these for my own enjoyment this year in 2023 and hold up. I try to account for realistic relistening expectations in ratings so they actually have some utility, easier said than done |

12.18.23 | I saw Devy and Animals As Leaders over the Summer. That drummer in AAL is sick as hell live. |

12.18.23 | The Smile is class! Stoked for the new album, hope it wasn’t a flash in the pan.
@azazzel- lots of great metal albums last year. Yeah, I feel ya. All my ratings are subjective as a means to document how much enjoyment I get out of them in the present and if it’s worth relistening to in the future. I have such random cravings when it comes to music, so the ratings go a long way to help keep things organized (to some degree). My objectivity is pretty shit bc if I don’t like it I typically won’t finish it and then I don’t feel it’s fair to rate. Idk
@Lioness - Nice! I unfortunately missed that tour. Looked amazing! Wasn’t dream theater touring too? Would love to see Devy at some point bc he’s one of my favorite artists. |
LilLioness
12.19.23 | Yeah, it was all three. Of course, I was at a venue with a no moshing rule. :s |
Azazzel
12.19.23 | for sure Veldin, if I had a dollar for every low # of rating albums I chose not to score because I just don't like the subgeners but know others would so tanking the rate feels wrong - I could probably buy the site lol

Demon of the Fall
12.19.23 | I liked a decent number of these and still listen to Knoll and Mystic Sisters
a reminder of how much more I was into new music last time around |
Demon of the Fall
12.19.23 | spent a decent amount of time with Aeviterne, Callous Dao, Regina, Art Brain, Chat Pile, Ashenspire and Conjurer too |
