A Tribe Called Quest - We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service

McCoy Tyner - Nights of Ballads & Blues

I went to Vinyl con and managed to buy 1976 re-release. It is near-mint. There is a slight damage to sleebe otherwise it's a great copy.

INSANE

I've long since left my Zep phase, yet I felt compelled to revisit this. Can't really bring myself to outright hate it but "Wearing and Tearing" really is the only track that comes across as decent.

Been getting more into black metal (and depressive black metal) lately, still a noob with it but here are two that have especially resonated with me.

Burzum - Hvis lyset tar oss -



Easily the greatest black metal album I've heard yet. I have listened to Burzum's album Filosofem before and while I like that one a lot, this one resonates with me more due to it's incredible, wintery atmosphere. It's rare and blissful to be transported in your mind by an album to the degree I am listening to this one.

Forgotten Tomb - Songs to Leave -



In my search for depressive black metal, this one stood out from the pack and stuck with me for some reason. I really love the vocals on it. Of course, the great thing to me about black metal and why I've been so interested in it is the dark atmosphere that tends to go hand-in-hand with it. Something as bleak as this really sticks with me, even if I'm not particularly depressed myself.

Cool! Emperor is my favorite of the early Norwegian crop, though I love the experimental tendencies that came out in a lot of mid-late 90's bands (Arcturus, Solefald, Diabolical Masquerade, Sigh, etc.).

One of the best depressive black metal album ever!

Pure art!

Its my 2nd favourite album of all time, bittersweet, dark and some absolutely gorgeous arrangements

Ulcerate -Vermis
Got the tip to listen to this kiwi death metal band from Candlemass-Per. HE WAS NOT WRONG, cool ****.

Yakuza soundtrack (2005)
Hell yeah!

Ulver’s The Assassination of Julius Caesar is pretty top notch. Currently the only album on my itunes for a week now.

Listening to these two albums for over a decade and I still go back to it from time to time. Specially good to relax while driving over long trips.

I guess I am getting close minded now that I can't get into anything different. Although I have been listening to these bands that I wasn't before:







Swedish melodeath is like the standard bearer of modern metal. They are good but I always go back to my old favorites. Well, I guess I will get tired of them at some point....
