Und, welchen Dialekt habt ihr so drauf?

@Dad_Wood denkst du nicht, dass es gerade bei @GrueneBundestag einige Homöopathiebefürworter gibt?
In Ö haben die sich während Corona dann zu "Grüne gegen Impfpflicht" zusammengetan.

@Dad_Wood es ist in Österreich das gleiche Drama. Esoterik ist hier ganz groß angesagt. Beinahe alle Freibäder und Badeteiche bei uns in der Umgebung werben damit, dass man bei ihnen in belebtem Granderwasser baden kann.

Sollen die Leute doch Deppensteuer zahlen, aber ich will diesen Blödsinn nicht mit Steuergeld fördern!

@Dad_Wood wir liegen lediglich auf 300m Höhe, also eher nicht. Vielleicht liegts an der Sprache...

A good long outro for Well, it just has to be Pink Floyd, but which song 🤔

@Kitty that is such a great song!

derthomas,
@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

@Kitty yes! I love outros and I love intros. So Shine On... is perfect in that sense, it is basically a looooooong intro and a looooong outro with a relativelty short middle part.

I just wanted to add the following song to my "Best of 2024" playlist. Turns out it was already in there.

Now that is a sign of a good song!

🎵 Darkest Before The Dawn by

I really really like Cloven Hoof's new album by now 🤘

Good morning folks, it is #TuneTuesday time 🎶

Today's theme is brought to you by @VestigialLung and it is:
#TheLongGoodbye Songs that have really long outros, both good or bad.

Now my choice is a song that is literally called "Long Slow Goodbye" and the song itself does have a long outro which perfectly closes the album "Lullabies To Paralyze".

Here is:

🎵 Long Slow Goodbye by Queens Of The Stone Age

I don't know Sonata Arctica and I didn't know about their existence until @Dad_Wood tooted about them.

Judging from the name and the artwork I expected Nightwish style melodic/symphonic metal from Finland 🇫🇮

Turns out the latter was correct, and for the other stuff?

Well, I guess I need to find out, and there is only one way to do this properly... 🤘

Kicking things off with their debut

@Dad_Wood oh lord... this was really painful to listen to, which is a shame, because they delivered good albums before.
So I guess you're also not too fond of Stones Grow Her Name?

@trendskater
Haha das definitiv mal eine andere Metaljourney.
Also die sind eine komische Band, die machen zum Teil so derbe kitschigen Scheiß... und dann hauen sie richtige Banger dazwischen raus.

Yesterday's path on my #SonataArctica #Metaljourney ended with an all time low. Let's forget that and start fresh with "Pariah's Child", Sonata Arctica's 8th studio album.

It doesn't start with an intro track, but with a quite old school #PowerMetal song:

🎵 The Wolves Die Young
https://song.link/y/YkuAYc2H1JE

...which 3 minutes in sounds like it could be on the soundtrack of Frozen (which I never watched).

#TomsMusic

@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

22/n

hm... yeah... Pariah's Child doesn't move me much, but this is a decent song:

🎵 Half A Marathon Man by Sonata Arctica
https://song.link/y/wP6ycFFv8-U

"X Marks The Spot" is also interesting.

#TomsMusic #SonataArctica #Metaljourney

Pariah's Child sounds like Sonata Arctica are auditioning for the soundtrack of a Disney Movie (Frozen?).

I mean, listen to this...

🎵 Larger Than Life by #SonataArctica
https://song.link/y/C_pOpTyMszw

2 out of 5 <insert Blayne Smith skull rating joke here>

Yeah that's not for me.

Ranking:

  1. Unia 3.5
  2. The Days of Grays 3
  3. Reckoning Night 2.5
  4. Winterheart's Guild 2.5
  5. Silence 2.5
  6. Ecliptica 2.5
  7. Pariah's Child 2
  8. Stones Grow Her Name 1

Moving on. The next album on my #SonataArctica #Metaljourney is "The Ninth Hour". After two terrible dissapointments, I am hoping for the best.

I enjoyed the first half of "The Ninth Hour".

And then comes this...

🎵 Candle Lawns by #SonataArctica
https://song.link/y/b_kDlAA5i2A

...and my toenails are all curled up.

Ok I have to confess, I never liked symphonic melodic metal. I never liked Nightwish or Within Temptation and consorts.

The Ninth Hour is exactly this. And suuuuper cheesy. Cringeworthy cheesy.

It has some good songs in the beginning though, that's why I'll give it 2/5.

Ranking:

  1. Unia 3.5
  2. Days of Grays 3
  3. Reckoning Night 2.5
  4. Winterheart's Guild 2.5
  5. Silence 2.5
  6. Ecliptica 2.5
  7. The 9th Hour 2
  8. Pariah's Child 2
  9. Stones... 1
