A shockingly good album, outside of the hidden track, which is completely forgettable. I suppose I should clarify and say the "shocking" is for myself, as I have never been big on Pearl Jam's radio hits. I'd listen to them but they were never anything that made me want to see out their albums. Ten is a solid album top to bottom, and even if I'm not super high on any particular song, there's no real weak songs either. Obviously you've got an iconic vocalist but there's enough great instrumentation to keep someone like myself engaged the whole way through.

But even this clip shows what a drastically different character Kramer becomes, because this scene with him coming and legitimately apologizing in a down mood and feeling bad is like....who is this lol.

Yeah, Kramer was originally supposed to be the building's weirdo who never left his apartment. I'm not even sure it was supposed to be a main role. But then Michael Richards kinda ran with it and the character evolved into what he became.

From an urban or inner suburb position, the other thing about home ownership is that, in most cases, you NEED to own a car, so I think it's important to factor all those expenses (insurance, maintenance, gas, etc.) into the cost, assuming you could otherwise live in a condo without the need for a car.

I went there once close to the beginning of the game, realized I wasn't meant to be there yet, and didn't come back until I was ready to beat the game.

Sorta the same, except I stubbornly snuck around though dozens of deaths until I actually got to Ganon, who then killed me in about 2 seconds. I really just needed to see if it was actually possible, which it is just with a tremendous amount of difficulty.

Metroid Prime beated!

Fucking boss battle against Ridley took me 3 tries because I just couldn't get the last goddamn super missile shot. Very fucking annoying.

Final battle took me 2 tries, mostly because, well, learning the patterns, but also I lost too much health getting through the chambers before that point. Didn't realize the enemies in that one room would continue respawning. Second time through I just ran and did fine.

Super > Prime, and that's a no doubter.

We typically average around 8 users but have gotten 15+ for a few albums here and there. Typically super popular ones that people have already heard. I think 5 represents the new low water mark though.

Doesn't offend me one bit if you're not into In Flames or metal in general. Everyone's got different tastes. I do appreciate you at least taking the time to listen to the first ranked song! There have been quite a few "big name"/"big artist" albums that I haven't enjoyed very much, and In Flames is very much a smaller band. What you feel about metal is mostly how I feel about rap; respect but usually not too much enjoyment.

Finally gotten to the point where I can move through most of the world with ease. Not looking forward to going through the Mines again though...

Or hell, even map markers. So often I'd forget where something was and spend a million years exploring.

YES! This is one of those small things most of the modern Metroidvania/Search Action games do that really helps. Or even just having rooms with secrets left to find a different color on the map, ala Resident Evil.

Like, I know where one of those major upgrades is, but I can't get it until I've got a different upgrade first. But I'll be damned if I could tell you where that room is on the map! I know which region it's in, but I'll probably have to run through the whole thing, unless the game does that explicit hint thing of "hey go over here".

I thought there was some amount of story to the new Doom games but probably not enough for a normal person to care. I do imagine that the sequel would be a more mechanically dense game than the original, so it might be hard to go backwards.

It's still a tech issue on my end though. My old ass PC (10.5 years old...) isn't going to play modern 3D games in an acceptable way. Thinking about a new PC but not until later in the year.

There is one thing In Flames is really good at, and that is making fantastic instrumentals; Man Made God fits the bill here.

Heck yes! THE reason I nominated Colony is because of Made Made God, which I rank among my very favorite songs. I love the way the song seems to tell a story.

This also gives me a chance to share Dialogue With the Stars, from Whoracle. It's another one of those great In Flames instrumentals.

Those were...unexpected results. Every other music circle I spend time in treats "Bunny is a Rider" and especially "Billions" as two of the greatest pop songs ever written, and here they're treated as middle of the road on their own album. I feel like I heard a completely different album.

Well we did only have 6 rankers, which is lower than our normal 8-10. But I think it also points to the differences between music people and non music people. Im sure your other circles are listening to albums many more times than the few listens our regulars are giving in a week. Certainly I know that many times the more subtle songs are lost on me when compared to the more immediate pop(ish) hits.

just want to put out there that i do think he's the best in the genre

EDIT: presuming by the genre we mean either metalcore or progressive metalcore. don't think i'd say he's the best in all of metal but in my top 3 or so.

FYI, that was me who said that, not Fool.

I havent the diversity to be able to pin down metal to its smaller sub genres. When I think of amazing metal vocalists, Im thinking about Symphony X and Dream Theater. Which may not be fair because they might be the truly exceptional in the larger metal genre. Even less classically amazing vocalists, whether were talking Metallica or System of a Down or Avenged Sevenfold, have a sound that, for me, merges with the guitars, drums, etc.

With Protest the Hero, I was just struck by what, to my ears, sounded dischordant. Thats probably not the right musical term but I think you get the idea. It was so bizarre that it was hard for me not to focus on that. On the relisten it wasnt as bad, though that somewhat comes from knowing what Im going to hear.

First up, December Flower, from The Jester Race:

This was probably one of the first songs that got me into In Flames. Practically incomprehensible vocals, but that solo just hooked me.
