Humanity: Hour 1 by The Scorpions.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Just been trying to have a proper off season.

Got all nostalgic for later-period Bad Brains over the last few days and listened to both Quickness and Rise. Both great albums by anyone else's standards but merely average for Bad Brains. Might even get around to listening to God of Love again (hmmmmmm...!)

I do think I Against I deserves to be considered for best ever Bad Brains album also. Definitely has more guts in the production than Rock For Light. The first three (including the ROIR debut) are all fantastic however.

It's a toss up between No Control by Bad Religion or Snuff Said... by Snuff. In either case they both stand the test of time, which only a fraction of Punk bands can claim. If any of you enjoy the offspring of Green Day then you absolutely must search further back into the Mid-Late 1980s for these corkers....as for me this is where accessible punk really carried some punch.

Next pay day I'm buying "I against I" again...I lost my original years ago, which is a shame because I bought it at that CD shop in Manners Mall and the bloke who sold it to me was one Jon Toogood! This was back when Shihad were just a scruffy metal band, and I loved 'em! "Great f**kin' album, man" he said..."I know! You guys rock too..." I said, barely covering my schoolboy adoration...

Shihad were great back then. It's a shame they kind of lost their way - another band who's early albums piss all over their later work in my opinion. Their last few albums all seem to be a re-hash of each other and I don't hold out high hopes for the next one. The first single off it is so lame that when I first heard it I assumed it was just another anonymous mainstream rock band from the US like Matchbox 20 or someone equally hideous.
 
C'mon boys, lift the game and get mean and heavy again!

Black Sabbath and Stephen King - if only they had stuck with that formula!

With the albums Churn and Killjoy they set the foundations to go on and become an anitpodean version of Killing Joke or Tool - a dark, powerful, twisting, metal beast. Unfortunately they wrote "Home Again", everybody loved it (it is a good song) and they got sucked into trying to write radio hits and "break through" - with diminishing returns ever since.
