What are you listening to right now?

[Dolo]

Earthside's Let The Truth Speak album. These guys definitely do not suffer from the second-album syndrome. A lot of great, fresh, proggy ideas keeping the genre alive.

Just listening to guitar players that make me want to set my own on fire for disgracing the instrument in not living up to their awesomeness:

Amazing!

I'm listening to and watching Tremonti at Graspop 2022. I love this band. It's heavy and chaotic, fits me and matches my energy, calms me down. Can't wait for the next album and tour.

I feel the same. Mark is the one musician I feel like I am the most similar to with musical thinking.

I've been pretty much exclusively listening to my normal playlist shuffle ever since I got here this semester. However, each day there are different songs that catch my attention and capture my emotions. It's very much like therapy.

Speaking of therapy...I think right now in my life, the only therapy I need is to sing my lungs out to emo songs. The events of this week really have awakened the inner emo kid in me. And I'll get to do exactly that on Saturday because I get to see STEREOtype!

Just sing your lungs out and be you! Best therapy Ever!

Is it strange that I actually love listening back to my own performances? I recently re-discovered that I had this show from 2014 up on Bandcamp, which I'd sort of intentionally forgotten about assuming it was terrible since it was within my first couple years of playing acoustic shows. Gave it a listen, and I was like "....damn, that's not bad!" Other than fudging up the lyrics / layout to Nutshell, but the rest of it was pretty solid. And for some reason I realized I really enjoy listening back to it, partly because (obviously) I love the songs, and partly because I like critiquing myself, but, like... it was just a really nice set with some fun banter. I've listened back to it a few times now over the last few weeks and it really makes me miss being active in music, being out playing shows several times a year. Life kinda got in the way since 2020 and I just haven't gotten back into the grind yet (though I'm trying). Ah hell, I'm rambling again...

My friend Kelly sent me this song. I am at a loss for words.

Funny, I was gonna rant something about Alabama/College Football Playoffs in the What Grinds Your Gears thread, but college football has become so corrupt it's probably my fault at this point for being disappointed by anything related to it at all.

When a video game continues to release bangers

[anguyen92]

Poets of the Fall's Carnival of Rust album.

They took part of a performance in the Game Awards yesterday where they played a song they made for the Alan Wake 2 game and the presentation looked really good with the chorography and stuff. Would be something if they can ride the buzz off of that performance and do a US tour.

[Dolo]

My list so far, green ones are done, white ones still to go.

End of year update (unless I find more albums released this year lol):



The ones with an 'X' next to them would be my AOTY contenders.

Nothing More featuring Lacey Sturm - Best Times

This is already a good song by itself. Having Lacey Sturm on guest vocals makes it better.

[gbruin]

^^^ Damn I love that song.

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

Going through a Trivium phase the last 3 weeks so I've been listening to all their albums in a playlist.

[anguyen92]

Shinedown - Breathe

Apparently, this was a bonus track from Threat To Survival that's on Youtube now. Why was this left out of the main album??? I like this more than most of the stuff from that album.

Creye - Air



See this, Neal? This is where Journey should be.

[Crumbso]

Joe Duplantier is one of the best singers around, man. I love Gojira.

Creye - Air



See this, Neal? This is where Journey should be.

One of my favorite albums from last year!
