Do you really listen to all your music? : Forbidden - Forbidden Evil

Awesome 80s thrash disc. I haven’t heard this one in a long time. Check out the scream on the title track. Impressive!

Do you really listen to all your music? : King Diamond - Conspiracy

With impressively bad lyrics, high pitched squealing vocals, and face paint you’d think this would be immediately deleted from my collection. But, no, it has a lot of cheese, but the guitar and proto-metal feel still makes it worth it…slightly.

I don’t think that’s Metallica, I think it’s my high school band. That’s the overall effect of the riffs, singing, and song structures. Of course, they did have the production help of Rick Rubin.

Bottom line: They’re trying, there is some good stuff, there is some stuff high school metal bands could top. Remember the last good album?
