I like it - it invokes Tom Waits’ Small Change. A few records in and you strip it all the way down to the basic essence of the artist to bring out the power. Still prefer Ultraviolence but this is so much better than the last record w/ the failed hip-hop experiments.

Paging Leonard Pierce... IMHO this album does have that sweet Laurel Canyon sound

I got a “You need to get this car off the road before you kill yourself or someone else!” So my ‘78 Volare still ran great and I could see the road everywhere I went! Who needs a frame anyways...

I think we need a drive-in midnite movie double feature of this and Verotika. https://film.avclub.com/holy-hell-glenn-danzig-mightve-just-made-the-room-of-h-1835503250

Indiana sucks so hard that even people who need to get out of Illinois after their financial livelihood has been decimated by “holdup at gunpoint” taxes won’t move there. If Wisconsin is that much better than you, you have a problem.

What’s the Vipers? Your girl scout troop???

The Return of the Son of Jacob’s Ladder

The fuck??? The whole Ten Years After set??? Only one song was recorded last I heard...

Heaven and Hell after Black Sabbath, Mob Rules and Born Again in that order after Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Tack on Dehumanizer and the Devil You Know, Cross Purposes and 13 after Technical Ecstasy. The rest, ugh, I can’t be bothered to struggle through them again.

Agree on all except Megadeth - the production is bad 80'S all the way, the “Anarchy” cover is garbage, but with all-time greats like “Set the Word Afire” and “Hook in Mouth” and “Mary Jane” (one of my personal favorites) I would say that awful is really strong here. Megadeth got really awful later on w/ Euthanasia.

My ranking: (I am a bassist in a Black Sabbath tribute band, rip on me!)

Creedence - Green River

What will they take away now???

They got it backwards! It is supposed to be a black girl slave-mistress beating the piss outta a white dude. BRB

Should be metal - could cover

This one is decent for what it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beast_Must_Die_(1974_film)

It is.

Is sorta-racist sorta-misogynist old white dude the best we can do in this day and age? Sadly, I think so. Hoping for a good VP pick, would rather have Warren as the candidate but I fear this country is too far gone right now.

“Low Budget” by the Kinks

I don’t know that you can be impotent and masturbating at the same time...
