Pentakill album is very front heavy fro me. The 3 spoiled tracks are by far the best and the rest don't really bring any more to the table. Ohmwrecker is my favorite simply because of my hard on for anything Dream Theater related.
In unrelated news, I get to see my sister for the first time since she left for college in Syracuse today. She's in town to visit family/deal with my brother situation since I refuse to do so unless he gets some kind of psychiatric help (he refuses).
Other than that what's up TL thread? I've been mia for a bit
It's 'k, we didn't report you missing to the police or anything, it's not like we'd run the risk of you being found dead a bit later... at least not dead-er than you already are.
Not too much of a fan Ketara. I mean, I think I'm starting to get why I don't overly like these bands in general: it's not that I dislike them, it's just that when I like their instrumentations I tend to find the singing covers them too much (so I'll prefer instrumental music), and when it's already strong/"noisy" to begin with I don't feel the variations in "tone" and intensity as much (hence why I'll prefer folk or orchestral or stuff, it's the same with touhou where I shy away from almost anything metal/techno/electronic related... apart from most of it being pretty shit I mean). In this case I'm not a fan of the chorus, I usually like it when it does its job of "acompanying" the music well but its... voice? (I'm not sure how to express it since it's several people and not one) doesn't appeal to me in that case. I like Iron Maiden's chorus parts more for example, and it's entirely due to the voices.

Ones I can think of: Grave Digger, Masterplan, Edguy, Kai Hansen Is A God (Blind Guardian, Avantasia, Gamma Ray, Helloween)

But it's a metal song about Peter Pan.
How can that not be the best thing ever?
I'm not a native speaker and I'm not used to the accent nor all kinds of metal singings, and I was busy integrating css, so I went for an overall feel before I paid attention to the lyrics. (I listen to a fuckton of instrumental because I tend to get distracted by lyrics if I'm doing something else, so since I was working I just didn't pay any attention at all to them.)

Here's a song where the lyrics don't matter at all
Asian culture is so fucking tasteless sometimes. My dad's cousin gets a heart attack and is in a coma. First thing my parents said when they heard the news, 'this is why you need to lose weight cuz you're so fat like your dad's cousin'. Not even a split second of grief or pity.
