Das nenne ich mal knapp dran! Ich stamme tatsächlich von einem kleinen Örtchen im #Waldviertel (also nördliches Österreich).

Und, welchen Dialekt habt ihr so drauf?

Hier geht es zum Dialekt Test:

Dass sich die @GrueneBundestag NICHT GEGEN die weitere Finanzierung von durch die Krankenkassen stellen, ist für mich persönlich eine maßlose Enttäuschung 😡 👎
Homöopathie wirkt NICHT über den Placeboeffekt hinaus! Punkt!

@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 #TheLongGoodbye Well, it just has to be Pink Floyd, but which song 🤔

Pink Floyd Shine on you Crazy Diamond

@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 🤘

Are you going?

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'm seriously considering switching back to a feature phone.

My only requirements:

  • it must support some music streaming service (ideally YT music)
  • it ideally runs Signal

Does anyone have any recommendations?

🔁 boost appreciated 🙏

@calm_bomb I was looking to Nokia phones, but they seem to be very poorly made.

@kreatorfangirls holy smokes that's impressive!

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

@SteVanDee yeah I think my Sonata Arctica will be 🔥 because I cut out all the cheesy songs 😂

After "Days of Grays" (and after I cleansed my plate with some Hellripper), it is time to move on to "Stones Grow Her Name" on my #SonataArctica #Metaljourney

The opener...

🎵 Only The Broken Hearts (Make You Beautiful)
https://song.link/y/rK88c-QAKbw

...sounds like a proggy hard rock song with trademark Sonata Arctica stuff (cheese, but weirdly interesting cheese).

I think Stones Grow Her Name is the romantic comedy in Sonata Arctica's discography.

Not a good one to be honest.

Nope nope nope.

"Don't Be Mean" is one of the shittiest songs and "Stones Grow Her Name" one the worst albums I have listened to in a long time.

1 out of 5 starts (the lowest rating since I started rating).

Dear #SonataArctica stop doing that now or I will stop my #Metaljourney for the first time ever!

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. Stones Grow Her Name 1

@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?

@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

@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

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.
